The meeting condemned the attitude of government departments concerned for not playing any role in saving Dadu, Qambar and Larkana districts, which were badly affected by flood and rains.
It demanded immediate relief package for affected people of the province and stern action against corrupt officials for their corruption and negligence, which caused great losses of lives and properties.
