HYDERABAD, Dec 6: The Anjuman Tajran-i-Sindh at a meeting held here on Monday criticized unscheduled and frequent power load-shedding. The meeting also deplored performance of the district government and said the historic city of Hyderabad had been destroyed.

It expressed concern over accumulation of garbage and overflowing drains in the city and said decrepit condition of roads was affecting business activities. The meeting noted that unscheduled load-shedding and issuance of detection and inflated bills had made lives of people miserable.

It regretted that due to indifferent attitude of the government, the business community was suffering huge losses. It demanded immediate removal of SDOs of Saddar and Sarfaraz sub-divisions of Hesco. The president of the Sindh chapter of the organization, Zakir Bin Zahid, presided over the meeting.

Meanwhile, Mr Zahid, Turab Ali Khwaja, Khalid Jafri, Ashraf Memon and other leaders of the organization opposed a notification declaring that meat shops would remain closed on Wednesday and Thursday. They demanded that the notification should be withdrawn and the old schedule be restored.

HDA: The director-general of the Hyderabad Development Authority has taken a serious notice of reports regarding illegal conversion of parking areas into shops and flats in various housing schemes in the city.

He constituted a committee, comprising the director, technical services, HDA, as chairman and the deputy director, technical services-I, and the additional director, building control department, as members, to probe into the matter and submit a report within a week.
