HYDERABAD, July 10: A large number of people, including women and children, of Kotri Site area, staged a demonstration under the aegis of the Pakistan Human Rights Development Organisation outside the press club on Tuesday in protest against sale of narcotics in their area.

Rights leaders said that narcotics were being openly sold in the their area under the patronage of police and demanded that the high-ups take notice of this menace.

EXAMS: A local leader of Jamaat-i-Islami, Dr Fawad Ahmed, on Tuesday assailed the education department for setting up examination centre for the appointment of primary teachers at the Cadet College Petaro of Jamshoro district.

He said in a statement to press that the department could easily have established the centre at one of many central places in Hyderabad but it appeared that the college had been deliberately selected to ensure success of the favourites of the department.

He demanded that the centre should be established in the city and advised the education department not to accept any political pressure in this regard.
