Sindh govt responsible for Karachi death toll: Khawaja Asif

ISLAMABAD:

Water and Power Minister Khawaja Asif held the Sindh government responsible for the deaths of almost 1,000 people.

“The basic responsibility of the Karachi deaths is of Sindh government. In Karachi, 70% of the casualties were labourers who lost their lives during the heat wave,” the minister said while addressing a session of the National Assembly.

“It is a huge tragedy,” he said, adding that he has directed the National Electric & Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) take notice and submit an inquiry report over the incident.
