FAIZ Wah is a small village in Khairpur Mir’s Shah Ladhani district. It is famous for its exquisite scenery. The main canals from Sukkur connecting with Khairpur’s tehsils are Kingri, Khairpur and Gambat. The canals run as main arteries to arable lands in areas such as Faiz Wah, Abul Wah and Mir Wah.
At the banks of Abul Wah and Faiz Wah canals, there is a wide range of trees, like eucalyptus (safeda), vachellia nilotica (commonly known as Babar in Sindhi language), azadirachta indica (neem) and dalbergia sissoo (commonly known as tahli). These trees are the habitats of many seasonal birds, including cattle egrets, white great egrets, little egrets and black-crowned night heron. The black-crowned night heron is also called ‘quark bird’ because it makes a cacophony of sound when its flock flies at night in search of food.
RECENTLY I visited my hometown located in Khairpur Mir’s. During my stay, I visited different talukas/tehsils, villages, towns and markets from where I bought quite a few items. Later, I realised that every product that I had bought was either fake or contaminated and was harmful. Moreover, all these products were being sold at the price of the genuine products.
The mafia of traders deliberately targets underprivileged rural areas of Sindh because most of the locals are uneducated farmers and there is no system of checks and balances to ensure the quality of the products being sold.
All the relevant departments should look into the matter and take stern action against the culprits.
