MITHI — A drought-like situation has emerged in Tharparkar following below-average rainfall, raising concerns over the livelihoods of local communities and livestock.
Kundan Malhi, Deputy Information Secretary of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Tharparkar, has urged Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to immediately declare the district drought-affected and calamity-hit.
Malhi met Senator Waqar Mehdi, Special Assistant to the Sindh Chief Minister and General Secretary of PPP Sindh, in Karachi and submitted a letter addressed to the Chief Minister.
The letter outlines seven key demands, including an immediate survey of drought-affected areas, provision of safe drinking water, distribution of wheat and essential food supplies, free fodder and veterinary medicines for livestock, and financial assistance and interest-free loans for farmers and livestock owners.
Malhi urged the Sindh government to launch emergency relief measures to protect vulnerable communities, safeguard livestock and prevent further economic losses.
