HYDERABAD, Jul 21 (APP): Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Tuesday visited Sehwan and offered condolences to the bereaved families of several prominent personalities who passed away in different areas of the district.
According to an official handout, while talking to the media in Bhan Syedabad, the chief minister said that the case of Priya Kumari was being personally monitored by the provincial home minister. He said the Sindh government was taking the matter seriously and expressed hope that it would be resolved soon.
Commenting on the increase in petroleum prices, Murad Ali Shah said the hike was driven by the ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which had affected economies across the world. He urged the public to minimize the use of petrol.
Expressing concern over unannounced power outages in various cities, the chief minister said prolonged load-shedding during the intense heat was causing severe hardship to the people. He said he would take up the issue with the federal government to ensure relief for the people of Sindh.
Earlier, the chief minister visited the graves of his parents in Wahur, where he offered Fateha and prayed for the departed souls.
