DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif vowed on Thursday to make all feasible efforts for the rehabilitation of flood-affected Pakistanis, with no party differences or prejudice standing in the way.

“In this province, another party dominates. We have no disagreement with it at this moment. We must all work together to accomplish this. This is about Pakistan, about you, about your rehabilitation, about your home, about your children. “God willing, you will see there will be no politics or prejudice in it,” he promised those evacuated by the sudden floods.

He stated that the federal and provincial administrations were both working around the clock to help the impacted people.

He remarked that the federal government has declared Rs 1 million in compensation for the deceased and had sent a message to the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa requesting that the compensation sum be increased from Rs0.8 million to Rs1 million to assist the bereaved families.

Furthermore, the federal government will offer Rs 250,000 to each injured person, Rs 0.5 million to destroyed dwellings, and Rs 0.2 million to partially damaged structures.

Moreover, he expressed that the NDMA and provincial authorities will conduct a joint survey to analyze agricultural damage so that the government can transparently provide compensation.

The prime minister also recalled his conversation with Army Chief of Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa on the matter, who promised him his full cooperation to accomplish the common obligation of rehabilitating the displaced population.
He stated that after his travels to the impacted regions were completed, he would convene a conference within a few days to assess the damage and organize the compensation process.
