Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Sindh government ministers expressed on Thursday condolences for aggrieved families affected by Punjab floods and lauded the courage of civilian volunteers across the province.
With regards to Sindh, which faces flood threats as water levels rise, the provincial government maintained that the provincial government is closely monitoring the situation.
“Pakistan Peoples Party workers and office bearers should come forward and play their role in helping the people affected by the flood in this difficult time,” said Bilawal in a statement. “This is the time that the nation, setting aside every kind of division, should unite to face the crisis.”
Separately, addressing a press conference in Karachi, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that the chief minister has set up a monitoring cell.
Guddu sees outflow of 300,323 cusecs while Kotri sees 240,000 cusecs, according to Memon.
He insisted that this year would not be a repeat of 2010. Instructions have been given to all elected representatives to stay in their constituencies, and relief efforts have already started, he said, adding that the Sindh government has arranged all facilities, including tents, jerry-cans, and mosquito tents.
Memon said that three provinces have passed a resolution on dams. However, he added, these are natural disasters that cannot be avoided.
