In Muslims: , Talpur, Khaskheli, mahars, Sheedi, Arain, Laghari, Kaimkhani, Baloch, community live in taluka digri as majority tribes. Jats and Arain were & remained in majority even before the inception of Digri town Committee. About 70% of population are Arains and 85 % of population are Punjabi speaking. In early era of the town committee Jats were chairing the committee however because of internal strife of Jats of Deh 164 they lost clout to the Mir Hayat Khan Talpur. There was an efflux of educated New Sindhi families from Sanghar, Nawabshah, Badin and Mirpurkhas to the Rahim Yar Khan (the border district of the Punjab—where the majority of Doctors and Engineers serving in government and private sector are still these migratees, wapda and railway are not exceptions).

Digri Town once known as Mini Punjab is really a mixed community town where majority community is at loss because of increasing brain drain. While the masses are unable to raise voice political gurus including Kaim Khanis, Mirs and remaining New Sindhis don't have any interest.

Mirs are reigning Digri because of clear division of town committee seats in New sindhis, Muhajirs and Mirs. Mirs being in power and having vast tracts of land surrounding the city are at cutting edge.

None of the MPAs, MNAs, Minsters or govt official has ever taken the matters seriously.
