Plan afoot to protect Hyderabad from flashfloods: Bhurgari

HYDERABAD: Sindh Minister for Fisheries Zahid Ali Bhurgari has said the government was making a comprehensive plan to prevent Hyderabad from flashfloods in the future.

The minister said this on Sunday while talking to media during inauguration of construction of a 2 kilometers long double track road from Alamdar Chowk to Sehrish Nagar. He also inaugurated gas supply to Sehrish Nagar town on the occasion.

Bhurgari said clearing drains was important because during rains they become choked as well as sludge obstructs drainage and caused rainwater to stagnate on roads and streets.

"We have called 61 heavy machines from Karachi to expedite the process of cleaning," he informed.

PPP leaders including Pervez Ansari, Noorunissa Abro, Roshan Solangi and others were also present on the occasion. (APP)
