A parliamentary panel will meet today (Tuesday) to discuss visitations to the rain/flood hit areas of Sindh and Balochistan Province and to suggest remedial measures. The committee would determine the damage caused due to these flood and heavy rains. The Senate had discussed earlier in detail, the miserable condition of people in three provinces. Senators from Balochistan demanded immediate relief for affectees, who were allegedly waiting for help. The senate also suggested that international donor agencies should be involved in relief activities. They were of the view that provincial as well as the federal government had failed to counter the severe situation in Khuzdar, Naseerabad and Jaferabad.
