Armed men breach canal dyke to ‘punish farmers’ for not paying protection money in Pakistani village

Sukkur, Pakistan: A group of armed men breached a dyke of Hazaro Shakh (water channel) to inundate several acres of farmland in Hafiz Mohammad Bakhsh Malik village near Tangwani town of Pakistan on Wednesday to punish the growers as they declined to pay them protection money.

Affected growers Ali Hasan, Ranjhan Malik and others told reporters as quoted by Dawn News that armed men belonging to the Choliyani community deliberately broke the dyke and destroyed their rice fields on several acres because they had refused to pay the protection money to them.

The armed men had threatened them of dire consequences, they said.

“They destroyed our crops worth millions of rupees and inundated our land. It will take much time to drain out water from their land and re-cultivate it,” they said.

They demanded the Sindh government to take action against extortionists.
