LARKANA, Sep 22 (NNI): Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on his last leg visit to the Larkana division assessed the flood situation, and witnessed the plight of affected people either living in the camps, along the main roads, or in their houses surrounded by the water and discussed with irrigation experts and directed them to work out a plan to discharge the water through different escapes into river Indus.
“I have visited each and every flood-affected area of the province with the plan to assess and witness the situation so that appropriate measures can be taken to discharge the water, rehabilitate the displaced people and restore agro-activities to move forward.”
He said this while talking to the media at different camps and health facilities on his last three-day visit to flood-affected areas. He said the flood victims living in the camps and along the road were keen to return to their homes if the water was cleared.
