Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Bilawal Bhutto tells the provincial government to make sure rainwater from the main roads is taken care of. Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has told the provincial government to make sure that rainwater is taken away from the main roads, streets, and homes of the people so that they can at least get around. After that, repair work on houses, drainage systems, and roads can begin.
On Monday, he said this while running a high-level meeting at his DC office. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, provincial ministers Imtiaz Shaikh, Nasir Shah, and Mukesh Chawla, Advisor for Rehabilitation Rasool Bux Chandio, Chief Secretary Sohail Rajput, Commissioner of Larkana Ganhwar Leghari, DC of Larkana Tariq Manzoor Chandio, and other officers were at the meeting.
The head of the PPP was told that in three bouts of heavy rain, 26 people died and 367 were hurt in the Larkana district. The district government has set up 290 relief camps where 28,500 people have been moved.
At the meeting, it was said that almost 90% of standing rice crops had been washed away and that thousands of houses in both cities and rural areas had been damaged, for which a survey was being done. Almost the whole city and taluka of Larkana are underwater because of the rain.
The chief minister said that people’s homes have become full of water. He also said that the first thing that would be done to help would be to get the water out of their homes, which would be done right away by the district administration, public health, and local government departments.

Shah said that since the Rice Canal went through the middle of the city, rainwater should be sent into it with pumping machines. “We want to build a stormwater drain in the city, and we’ll talk to experts about it,” he said.
The head of the PPP was told that rainwater that had been collected on the streets of Ratodero, Dokri, and Bakrani was now flooding into people’s homes and had to be taken care of by machines. At this point, Bilawal told the government to get the equipment and get rid of the water. He told the district administration to make the relief camps cleaner, give the people there food, clean water, electricity, and mosquito nets so they could live there safely. If they didn’t, we’d have to fight viral diseases.
Before, after landing at Begum Nusrat Bhutto Airport in Sukkur, the PPP chairman and the chief minister went straight to Larkana. There, they went to a relief camp at Technical College where people from different areas who had been affected by the rain were staying.
The head of the PPP met with people and told them they would be taken care of well. Bilawal told the people who had been hurt by the floods that they would be taken care of. “We saved you in the first phase, and now we’ll help you get back on your feet,” he told them.
He got out of his car when he saw that a crowd of people had gathered to talk to him. He was on his way to the DC office for a briefing. Bilawal talked to them, tried to make them feel better, and told them that their government would not leave them alone. After meeting with the PPP chairman, the people who were hurt temporarily forgot about their pain and cheered as he got into his car.
