JSMM strike: Cracker blasts in parts of Sindh

HYDERABAD: Parts of Hyderabad, Jamshoro and Dadu districts were rocked by low intensity blasts on Tuesday. However, no casualties have been reported. Police officials say crackers were used in all the attacks. All these attacks reportedly took place within 20 to 30 minutes after 8 pm. Five of these explosions were carried out in Hyderabad while two each in Jamshoro and Dadu districts. Such incidents have become a hallmark of Jeay Sindh Muttahida Mahaz's call for strikes. JSMM has called for a strike in protest against what it alleges are the unceasing incidents of enforced disappearance of its workers and killings of some others.
