LAHORE: Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar said on Monday that all federal organisations are playing their role in relief activities in Karachi and other parts of Sindh affected by heavy rains/floods and Prime Minister Imran Khan will also pay a visit to Karachi soon.

While addressing a press conference along with Chairman of Friends of Pakistan Gohar Ejaz, and Amjad Saqib, Chairman of Akhuwat Foundation, here on Monday, the governor said he along with members of the business community and charity organisations will visit Karachi on Tuesday (today). With the collaboration of 'Friends of Pakistan' special package will be given to 10 thousand deserving families for the restoration of houses damaged by floods and torrential rains of Karachi, he said.

The governor said that with the collaboration of charity organisations we will provide financial assistance and ration to distressed families of Karachi and Sindh. He said that following the instructions of Prime Minister Imran Khan, I will visit Karachi, Badin, and other districts that have been affected by floods. "I will also meet the Governor and Chief Minister of Sindh."

He said, if leaders of Punjab visit Sindh during this crisis, it should be appreciated because it is the responsibility of every Pakistani to help their brothers and sisters who have been affected by floods.

He said that Friends of Pakistan will provide financial assistance for the restoration of ten thousand houses damaged by floods. He said all these relief activities have nothing to do with politics; our aim is to help those who are in desperate need of it.

Gohar Ejaz said on the occasion that during the coronavirus crisis, we pledged that we will not let anyone go to bed hungry and now we are going to Karachi so that we can help those families who have been affected by torrential rains or floods.

Amjad Saqib said that they are going to Karachi to provide relief to deserving families under the leadership of Governor Punjab Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar.
