Provincial Minister for Health and Emergency Services Punjab and Chairman Committee for Disaster Management Khawaja Salman Rafique attended the distribution ceremony of relief goods at PDMA warehouse as a special guest. Secretary 1122 Dr. RizwanNaseer, DG Disaster Management Authority Irfan Ali Kathia and other officers including Commander of Pak Army attended the occasion. Provincial Health Minister Khawaja Salman Rafique, Dr. RizwanNaseer and Irfan Ali Kathia also spoke to the media. Provincial Health Minister Khawaja Salman Rafique also reviewed the aid supplies provided to Pakistan Army and Rescue 1122.

Provincial Health Minister Khawaja Salman Rafique while talking to the media said that Pakistan Army stands side by side with its people in every difficult situation. In 2005, he himself went to the affected areas to help the victims of the earthquake. Aid equipment is very important for rescue teams. We pay tribute to the rescue teams who have made it easy for the people in the harsh weather. Punjab Disaster Management Authority is the brain child of MianShahbaz Sharif. Shifting patients from homes to hospitals for treatment is a great move. May Allah protect Pakistan and the institutions of Pakistan. It is impossible to deal with natural calamities without mutual coordination of rescue agencies. No organization can individually deal with channels like rains, storms and fire fighting. Disasters can be dealt with by mutual cooperation of all the concerned institutions. The district administration is the foremost rescue agency.

DG Punjab Disaster Management Authority Irfan Ali Kathia said on the occasion that PDMA Punjab is active to increase the capacity of institutions in view of possible floods. Rescue organizations are being provided with necessary equipment and support related to flood fighting. Major damage can be avoided with advance preparation and effective measures. The equipment includes 10 of OBM-15HP and 20 of OBM-40HP as per international standards. 25 fiberglass boats are also included in the distribution. 15 portable air compressors (breathing) and 200 life jackets are included in the distributed equipment.

Secretary Emergency Services Punjab Dr. RizwanNaseer said on this occasion that he is grateful to PDMA for providing relief materials. Provincial Minister Khawaja Salman Rafique has always been active for the improvement of the system. Rescuers are always on the front line. Rescue teams also operate in difficult situations for fire fighting. We are improving emergency services in Punjab.
