Hyderabad:
The civil judge and judicial magistrate I, Moro, Madad Ali Khoso, while taking exception to the non-conformity of his order of May 31, ordered the government to immediately resume the services of the cellular network.
The services were suspended in Moro Taluka after May 20, between the police and the nationalist workers in the Feroze de Bohero district, who cost the lives to two young men.
“Respondents (government) are responsible for removing public nuisance and immediately restoring all mobile networks,” said the order. The authorities had suspended mobile networks in Moro; Surrounded by the village of Bijarani-Laghari, the two residents of which were killed in the confrontation and also recently applied article 144 to prohibit the gatherings of people in Moro.
The measures were taken to prevent people from organizing demonstrations or road blockages, according to officials. The judge warned the sub-commissioner, SSP and other district officers that disobedience would lead to legal action against them.
The order was made in a petition deposited by five residents of Moro, including Qadir Bux Korai, Andal Pir, Abdul Karim Kalhoro, Majid Hussain Zardari and Jam Shahnawaz Korejo.
The same court had adopted an identical order, even if the SSP in its report argued that the situation of the law and the order in Moro required a suspension of the cell phone services.
The judge noted that around a million people in Moro Taluka and its surroundings and villages suffered due to the suspension of the service. Students, people earning online trades, banks and other companies were also suffering enormously. “The respondents did not provide substantial evidence concerning the situation of public order,” observed the judge.
On May 20, nationalist workers tried to block the national road by organizing a sit-in protest against the construction of six new channels on the Industry River and Corporate Agriculture.
Police, however, tried to prevent the motorway blocking. The authorities allegedly alleged that the workers in response had attacked the House of the Minister of Sindh, Ziaul Hassan Lanjar, to protest and set it in part.
The demonstrators alleged that the police had opened fire on them by killing Zahid Laghari and Irfan Ali Laghari, who died in a hospital in Hyderabad after fighting for life for four days.
