DADU, Dec 3: A large number of people staged a protest demonstration here on Tuesday against the Dadu taluka municipal administration.

They were led by the chairman, Mehran Welfare Association, Dadu, Maula Bux Mastoi, and Qadir Bukhsh.

Talking to the protesters, Mastoi said water supply pumps of the Dadu city were broken and open drains were overflowing due to apathy of the municipal committee.

The protesters also observed a token hunger strike outside the press club.

Meanwhile, a large number of employees of the Khairpur Nathan Shah taluka municipal committee staged a demonstration in front of the local press club against the non-payment of their salary for the last two months.
