HYDERABAD   -   The Additional Deputy Commissioner-I Tharparkar Asif Ali Khaskheli has announced that the district administration was actively monitoring the work of various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating within the district.

According to a handout, Khaskheli made this statement while presiding over a meeting focused on evaluating the performance of NGOs at Darbar hall, Mithi.
