KHANEWAL:

Police and the district administration have pledged to continue relief and rescue operations in flood-hit areas, assuring displaced families that they will not be left unattended.

District Police Officer (DPO) Ismail Kharrak and Deputy Commissioner (DC) Dr. Salma Suleman visited Fasal Shah and Mamdal Bund to review the ongoing operations. They were accompanied by ADC-R, SDPOs, SHOs, and other senior officers.

During the visit, the officials inspected relief camps and tent villages and interacted with victims.

DPO Kharrak said protecting the lives and property of citizens remains the top priority. "So far, more than 6,000 people have been moved to safe locations. Our personnel are serving on the frontlines without regard for their own safety. In this difficult hour, no citizen will be left alone," he stated. He further directed officers to carry out their duties with commitment and professionalism.

DC Suleman said food, shelter, and essential supplies were being provided to families in relief camps. "In this testing time, state institutions stand shoulder to shoulder with the people," she noted.

Both officials reaffirmed that operations would continue until all affected communities are rehabilitated.
