Under the directives of the provincial government, essential supplies have been dispatched to the affected people,” Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) Director General Mohammad Tariq said while talking to former minister of interim government Malik Khuram Shahzad the other day.
Speaking about the calamities, he said agriculture being the major source of income has been completely destroyed.
