Pakistan

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday ordered the NDMA to prepare a comprehensive plan for the relief and rehabilitation of the victims of the recent storm in Gwadar.

The prime minister visited the areas of the coastal city which suffered damage due to torrential rains last week.

On arrival, the prime minister met the victims and assured them of government support for their rehabilitation.

He ordered the NDMA to spare no effort in rescuing and helping the victims.

During the flight, National Disaster Management Authority Chairman Lt-Gen Inam Haider Malik briefed the prime minister on the damage caused by the recent rains in Gwadar and South Balochistan and the ongoing relief operations.

Torrential rains last week brought destruction to the coastal city whose streets were flooded and thousands of people were rendered homeless. Due to high tide, many fishermen’s boats were also washed away.
