Chief Minister Balochistan Jam Mohammad Yusuf has said that federal government has declared Balochistan a calamity hit province after which agriculture related taxes and loans out-standing against farmers have been automatically waived off.
Talking to rain victims during his visit to Nasirabad and Jaffarabad districts on Wednesday, he said although complete rehabilitation of flood hit people is a gigantic task but the central government is extending all out support to the provincial government in this regard.
"We are confident that we would soon overcome the challenge of rehabilitation of rain hit people due to well co-ordinated efforts among the government agencies, he said.
He said assessment survey of the damage caused to property is in progress and would be completed within a month after which the international community would be apprised of the need. Various national and international welfare organisations have also assured their full support to the provincial government in rehabilitation of the affected infrastructure and the people.
To a question, the CM said if President General Pervez Musharraf decides to get himself elected for another term from the present assemblies Balochistan assembly would fully support him.
