He warned the bureaucracy to perform their duties honestly and efficiently, otherwise cases would be lodged against them. "The government is taking care of the people of Tharparkar and will not leave them alone in this difficult time," he added.

There is no need to create any department for the development of Thar, which is not only the area that need deserve and attention. There are other parts of Sindh, which also face the drought like situation, i.e. KAACHO in Dadu, Kohistan and a large pockets of Khairpur Mirs, Badin and Sanghar bordering with India. The only solution is to strengthen the Rural Development Department of the Government of Sindh, which can cater for the needs of these areas, as the creation of another department will be nothing but a burden on the exchequer of Sindh.
