LARKANA: A shutterdown strike was observed in Naudero, a second within a month, over failure of police to track down killers of a prominent trader, Santosh Kumar, and check several incidents of violent robberies in Larkana during the last few weeks.

The Shehri Action Committee had organised protests soon after Mr Kumar`s murder by suspected robbers on Jan 29, and had been pressing the police to track down the culprits. A fortnight back, the SSP concerned had heard the committee and assured it that the killers would be netted within the next 15 days.-Correspondent
