KARACHI: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday directed Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to expedite relief operations in the rain-hit areas of the province
The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman emphasized the urgency of addressing the situation, particularly in Sukkur and Larkana divisions, which he noted have once again borne the brunt of climate change-induced extreme weather.
He urged the provincial administration to ensure the immediate drainage of rainwater from low-lying areas in these divisions to prevent further devastation.
Expressing concern over reports of a breach in a dam in Khairpur district, the PPP chairman called for an immediate inquiry into the matter. He stressed the importance of minimizing damage and providing prompt assistance to the affected population.
“The Sindh Relief and Rehabilitation Department, along with the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), must take full responsibility for assisting those impacted by the rains,” Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said, instructing them to compile a detailed report on the extent of the damage and the ongoing relief efforts across the province, with particular focus on Sukkur, Larkana, and Khairpur.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari further assured that the Pakistan People’s Party would not abandon the victims of the rain and would continue to support them during these difficult times.
