The meeting took some decisions in this regard.
Addressing the meeting the Chairman District Relief Committee Syed Ameer Ali Shah Jamote said that since the IDPs have started return back to their native places from October 15, 2010 the considerable space at main Sabzi Mandi Relief Camp has been evacuated.
