HYDERABAD, Jan 4: The district government has taken exception to the press conference of the Shia Ulema Council, criticising the ongoing development works in the city.

A statement issued from the secretariat of the district nazim said that on Youm-i-Shahadat Hazrat Ali, the district government had carried out repairs of the Qadamgah-i-Moula Ali road.
