Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that the city has received 200 mm rainfall which is something devastating, despite the fact he, his cabinet members and entire government machinery, including local bodies, water board and other civic agencies worked day and night and successfully dewatered major areas of the city but ‘I am sorry to say some detractors continuously kept criticizing the government and civic agencies just to take away the credit of our services.’
The government doesn’t need the credit of some self-praising, detractors and pseudo-intellectuals but it was our duty and we did our best to control the situation and mitigated public sufferings.
This he said while talking to media just after offering Eid Namaz at Jamia Masjid Mohammad Yousif Merchant at Commissioner House on Monday morning. He was accompanied by Minister Local Government Syed Nasir Shah, his advisor Murtaza Wahab, Special Assistant Rashid Rabbani, Commissioner Karachi and others.
He said that 200 mm rainfall was not a joke and it had inundated the flat, upper area areas and what had happened in low-lying areas he had personally witnessed and got them de-watered by standing deep into two-foot water. ‘I along with my cabinet members is working in the -rain affected districts of Karachi and Hyderabad division from last three days,’ he said..—INP
