In his first solo visit to the province, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) patron-in-chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday reached Chiniot as part of his visit to flood-affected areas.
Flanked by Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Bilawal also visited embankments of relief camps at Sukkur Barrage.
Bilawal Bhutto closely assessed River Sindh and parts of the Sukkur barrage. Babur Afandi secretary Irrigation briefed Bilawal about the flood situation in Sindh. He told that the risk of a high flood in River Sindh has lessened, however, low-level flood tides are raging from both Sukkur and Guddu barrage. He informed that the precautionary measures have already been taken against floods after 75 villages have been inundated near the Kashmore-Kandhkot district.
He recently announced his decision to take part in the 2018 general elections from late Benazir Bhutto’s seat of Ratedero in Larkana.
