United Energy Pakistan Limited (UEPL), which recently acquired BP Pakistan's upstream business, has made available about Rs 23 million for flood relief in lower Sindh. According to a press release issued here on Wednesday, this contribution is part of UEPL's commitment to the people among which it operates. Approximately Rs 21.5 million has been contributed by UEPL for flood-hit concession areas in Badin, Tando Muhammad Khan, Matiari, Tando Allahyar and Sanghar districts.
The remaining Rs 1.5 million has been raised through an Employee Donation drive with staff contributing generously to supplement the company's efforts. This money is being used to purchase ration bags and tents, for the affected families, on an emergency basis; 8,375 ration bags and 2,650 tents have been distributed through this effort. In addition, vehicles requested by the district administration, for usage in the flood relief operations, have also been provided. UEPL's employees have been working, in close co-ordination with the district administration and public representatives of the area, to ensure that supplies reach those worst affected.-PR
