“No food no water, this pained me a lot”, Shehbaz
Mr. Bizenjo, federal minister Maulana Abdul Wasey and other high-ups accompanied the Premier during his visit to the camp. “This pained me a lot when I met affectees without any food and water”, Shehbaz Sharif stated.
The Premier arrived in Balochistan for the second time in the last three days. The death toll in rains and floods-related incidents rose to 142 in Balochistan on Monday evening. Flash floods unleashed by heavy rainfall have played havoc in Quetta and other parts of Balochistan.
“I found so many shortcomings here”, the Premier noted. He said there was no record of the patients at the free medical camps established in the flood-affected areas of Balochistan. Shehbaz Sharif asked Chief Minister Mir Quddus Bizenjo to ensure the record of the patients and take action against those who demonstrated negligence in this regard.
PM visits Chaman, met flood affectees
The Prime Minister also visited Chaman, Pakistan’s bordering city with Afghanistan and met flood-affected people. Addressing the affectees and tribal elders of the area, the Premier said the federal government committed to rehabilitating the flood-affected people.
“Your government stands by you in this hour of trial”, Shehbaz Sharif assured the affected people. He said the government was also paying compensation to the flood-affected people throughout the county.
The premier’s Killa Saifullah and Chaman visit has come two days after his visit to the Jhal Magsi district of Balochistan to meet flood affectees.
