SANGHAR: Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf announced a fund of Rs200 millions for Sanghar while speaking in a function at Sanghar, Express News reported.
He said that amendments will be made for the destruction caused by the rain in Sanghar at any cost.
Talking about the upcoming elections, Prime Minister Ashraf said, “Elections will be clean and no rigging can be done this time.”
He claims that the developmental work done under Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) five year tenure is far better than the ones done in 60 years.
PM further said that PPP opted for a reconciliation policy in greater national interest and united the entire nation against terrorism.
In 2012, heavy monsoon rains caused flash-floods in Umerkot, Tharparkar, Sanghar, Mirpurkhas, Tando Muhammad Khan and Badin with the provincial government declaring four of them as calamity hit districts.
Many of the five million people affected by the monsoon floods in 2012 are still waiting for financial assistance promised by the government. Many of them lost family members, crops, homes and cattle.
After the floods, President Asif Ali Zardari initiated Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) to"improve the lives of the deserving and needy". However, the scheme has been wrecked with corruption scams with the flood victims alleging that the promised concessions of the BISP programme were not being delivered.
