While chairing the third cabinet committee meeting on pre-monsoon/flood arrangements, here Tuesday, Nadeem Kamran reviewed pre-flood arrangements by different provincial departments to combat any possible threat of flood. He directed all the relevant authorities to ensure that drains are clear in order to avoid any urban flooding.
Speaking on the occasion, Senior Member Board of Revenue (SMBR) Muhammad Aslam Kamboh said that urban flooding is a sensitive issue and all the drains in the cities are designed for sewerage not for rain water therefore, all the Deputy Commissioners must ensure that the drains are clear and process of desalting is going on. He directed all WASA's and Municipal Committees in districts to ensure that no canal is used for drainage purpose.
