Minister of State for Finance and Revenue Dr Aisha Ghaus Pasha on Friday said the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) was working in collaboration with all stakeholders for early rehabilitation of the flood-affected areas of Sindh.
Responding to concerns of PPPP Lawmaker Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah about financial assistance of the flood-affected people during the National Assembly debate on budget 2023-24, the minister said the federal government in collaboration with the Sindh government would further deliberate on the matters related to the relief and rehabilitation of the people affected by heavy floods and rains last year.
Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah urged the federal government to fulfill the commitment of Rs 100 billion financial assistance made to mitigate sufferings of the flood-affected people of the province.
Earlier participating in the budget debate, Romina Khurshid Alam of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) condemned the incidents of May 9 and stressed the need for strict action against those involved in the vandalism of military installations and memorials of martyrs.
She said martyrs and ghazis of the country were heroes of the nation and their services could never be forgotten, calling for giving due attention to the wellbeing of the ghazis especially those who suffered injuries and disabilities. —APP
