He lauded the efforts of the district administration for draining out rainwater from the city which had accumulated on the streets after the recent downpour. He hoped that the district administration would show the same spirit in case of a flood emergency. During a video conference with President Asif Ali Zardari, he had informed him about the 19 families who had lost their loved ones during the flood of 2010 and the torrential rains of 2012. He told him that these victims were still waiting for the promised compensation. According to him, he also demanded of the president to allocate a special budget for the restoration of infrastructure.
