Lack of Measures Despite Prior Reports of Stormy Rain Is Criminal Negligence: Hamza

LAHORE: Opposition leader Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz has said that lack of emergency measures despite advance reports of urban flooding and torrential rains is criminal negligence.

Expressing sorrow over the loss of life and property in the torrential rains in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Hamza Shahbaz said that torrential rains and urban flooding were forecast in the entire country including Punjab. He had told ahead of time, but the Punjab government did nothing but take pictures and issue statements.

He said that government measures for urban flooding in major cities of Punjab including Lahore, Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan and Faisalabad were limited to news and TV.
