MQM-P appeals to Gen Bajwa to help flood-hit people

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has appealed to Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa to help flood-stricken people in the entire Sindh. In a statement, MQM-P Rabita Committee on Wednesday requested the COAS to issue immediate orders for the rehabilitation of the people and infrastructure in flood-hit areas where hundreds had been killed and thousands rendered homeless. The MQM-P Rabita Committee noted that there was an alarming situation in various cities in interior parts of Sindh due to heavy rains, which caused flash floods and breaches to canals and drains. “The civil administration has failed to deal with floods and disasters due to rains,” it said, adding that houses and crops had been damaged. The party appealed to the army chief to issue orders for the rehabilitation of flood-hit victims on an emergency basis. The Rabita Committee further requested General Bajwa to direct Pakistan Army soldiers to start relief activities in flood-affected areas.
