PPP leader hails MPA for actively helping flood affectees

BOONI, Aug 16: After the devastating floods hit Chitral in the second week of July, MPA Sardar Hussain remained on his toes to help the affected people and get the damaged infrastructure especially roads in upper Chitral repaired.
This was stated by Muhammad Pervez Lal, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) district Chitral information secretary, in a statement here on Sunday.
He said the vigilance and round-the-clock presence and availability of the MPA in the affected areas also forced all government departments to remain on a standby to help the affectees.
For about a month, the whole upper Chitral remained blocked due to the washing away of a portion of the Chitral-Mastuj road near Kuragh and machinery could not reach the site from the Chitral town due to the flooding of streams. After the construction of the road was started a few days ago, the MPA visited the site on a daily basis and kept in touch with the army and other government authorities to expedite the work.
Besides, his presence among the affected people also helped the delivery and distribution of relief goods in a transparent manner, said Mr Pervez.
The PPP Chitral information secretary said that the MPA also worked hard to make it sure that all the contractors completed the reconstruction work without any delay to mitigate the suffering of the people.
