District Coordination Officer (DCO) Larkana Abdul Aziz Uqaili has called upon the Irrigation and Agriculture officials to ensure the de-silting of irrigation canals so that tail-end Abadgars may be able to get irrigation water for their agriculture lands.
This he said while presiding over a meeting of Abadgars, Agriculture and Irrigation officers at his office on Tuesday. The theft of irrigation water would not be tolerated at any cost, and strict action in this regard might be taken accordingly, he added.
He also directed the Agriculture officers to ensure the availability of fertilisers and pesticides at various sale points in the district so that Abadgars might be able to purchase the same on fixed prices. Any over-charging would not be tolerated and shopkeepers found guilty would be punished accordingly, he warned.
He further said the Chief Minister's directives in this regard would be followed in letter and spirit. The meeting was attended by agriculturists, irrigation engineers, EDO Revenue Larkana, DDO Revenue/ HRM Asadullah Abro and other concerned officials.
