Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Monday asked the Sindh government to take all necessary measures to help the people affected by the recent storms in Karachi and other parts of the province. The Prime Minister was talking Sindh Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim, who called on him at the PM House on Monday morning.
Expressing grief over the loss of lives in the rain-hit areas, the Prime Minister said the governments at the district, provincial and Federal level should work in close co-ordination to bring life back to normalcy.
The Prime Minister took particular note of the deaths in the provincial capital due to electrocution and uprooting of signboards. To prevent further damage, the Prime Minister directed that necessary measures be taken on war footing.
Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim apprised the Prime Minister of the relief efforts being undertaken by the Sindh government to provide necessary aid to the affected people.
He also briefed the Prime Minister about the measures that are planned to be taken in case another spell of rainstorm hits the coastal areas of the province, as being predicted by the concerned authorities.
