A delegation from Balochistan led by Minister of States and Frontier Regions Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind called on Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz here on Saturday and apprised him of the situation in the province with special reference to relief efforts being made for rehabilitation in the rain affected areas. The delegation informed the Prime Minister that representatives of Army, Navy, Air Force and Frontier Constabulary played a pivotal role and provided all out support in relief operation to the extent that they even shared their own rations with the people of the affected areas.
The Prime Minister talking to the delegation said Government promptly responded to the situation arising because of rains in Balochistan and had co-opted the services of Air Force and Navy.
He said C-130 aircrafts were being used to send tents, blankets, food supplies and medicines to the affected areas and helicopters were dropping the supplies to inaccessible areas.
This operation, he said continued unabated and as the communication links improved relief goods were also being sent through roads by trucks.
The Prime Minister appreciated the efforts made by law enforcing agencies and reiterated the national assets would be protected at all costs. He said damage to an asset was not only loss to Balochistan but also to the whole country.
Shaukat Aziz emphasised the benefits of growth in the economy should be reaped by the common man.
