PM forms NODMC for flood relief
Each province will be represented by two members in the NODMC, while the federation will be represented by three members, namely UA Raisani, Ijaz Rahim and Fauzia Naqvi.
Sindh will be represented by Fazlur Rehman and Fazlullah Qureshi, while Justice Sardar Raza and Muhammad Azam will be representing Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Punjab had submitted its nominations earlier, naming Khalid Sher Dil and Justice (retired) Allah Nawaz.
Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK will also nominate two members.
The NODMC was approved by the Council of Common Interests in its last meeting, after the all the provinces submitted names of their members.
The issue had led to acrimony between the government and the chief of the main opposition party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Nawaz Sharif who had earlier proposed forming a high-powered commission. The government had agreed with his proposal but later backtracked saying that the provinces were not approving the idea and announced its own council along similar lines.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that an international donors conference will be held at the end of this year to rehabilitate the flood affected areas.
He was talking to the media at a joint news conference with US Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke.
