A survey of the houses of the food victims was starting and the construction work will begin in 15 days, Punjab Minister for Local Government and Community Development Mian Mehmoodur Rashid said on Monday.
He said during a visit to flood-affected areas that the government would rebuild every damaged house. The minister said the loss of crops and livestock would also be compensated and all the problems of the victims would be solved.
The provincial minister visited the affected areas for two days along with MPA Sardar Ahmed Ali Dreshak. He distributed food items, gas stoves and other relief items among the flood victims. He went to the villages near DG Khan, met the flood victims and enquired about their problems.
He said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan had assigned him the responsibility to visit the flood-affected areas and take concrete steps to solve their problems after analysing them in detail.
He said that all the staff of the revenue department, the commissioner, deputy commissioner and assistant commissioners remained busy in the field in the relief work.
He said MPA Ahmad Ali Dreshak had pointed out that the road from DG Khan to Godhpur had been destroyed.
