Hyderabad:
The civilian judge and judicial magistrate I, Moro, Madad Ali Khoso ordered while avoiding non -compliance with his order 31 May, the government to immediately resume the cellular network services.
The services were suspended in Moro Taluka after the 20th of May clash between the police and the nationalist workers in the Noushehero Feroze district that demanded life for two young men.
“The respondents (the government) are referred to remove public genes and immediately restore all mobile networks,” the order reads. Authorities had suspended mobile networks in Moro; Surrounded Bijarani-Laghari Village, whose two residents were killed in the clash and also recently enforced section 144 to ban gatherings of people in Moro.
The measures were taken to prevent people from organizing protests or road blockades, according to the officials. The judge warned the Deputy Commissioner, SSP and other officers in the district that disobedience will result in litigation against them.
The order has been given in a petition filed by five residents of Moro, including Qadir Bux Korai, Pir Andal, Abdul Karim Kalhoro, Majid Hussain Zardari and Jam Shahnawaz Korejo.
On May 31, the same court had adopted an identical order, although the SSP had claimed in his report that the law and the order situation in Moro demanded suspension of the mobile phone services.
The judge noted that about a million people in Moro Taluka and its surrounding areas and villages suffered due to the suspension of the service. Students, people who earned from online trades, banks and other companies also suffered tremendously. “The respondents have not resulted in any significant proof of the law and the order situation,” the judge observed.
On May 20, the nationalist workers tried to block national highway by staging a sit-in-protest against the construction of six new channels on the Indus River and the company’s agriculture.
However, police tried to prevent the highway blocking. Authorities claimed that the workers in the reaction attacked the House of Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar in protest and set it partially on fire.
The protesters claimed police opened fire against them and killed Zahid Laghari and Irfan Ali Laghari, who died in a hospital in Hyderabad after fighting for life for four days.
