ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday arrived in Jacobabad on a day-long visit to the flood-hit areas of Balochistan to review rescue, relief, and rehabilitation measures.
He conducted aerial survey of different areas during his visit and directed prompt measures to provide relief to the affectees.
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) authorities, Balochistan chief secretary and Lt. General Akhtar Nawaz briefed the prime minister.
Earlier, the visit of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to the flood-affected areas in Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan was delayed once again due to inclement weather.
He was scheduled to leave for Balochistan on Saturday afternoon, but the visit has been postponed till the weather improved.
Parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Punjab, Balochistan, and Sindh experienced flooding as torrential rainfalls pushed rivers over their banks.
More than 300 people have died so far across the country while dozens are still missing. Injured people are apart.
Authorities have distributed relief goods in different affected areas, but the scale of devastation is still very large compared to the efforts.
