Scattered rain with thundershowers has occurred in Punjab, KPK, Gilgit Baltistan and Kashmir. The Pakistan meteorological department expects mainly dry weather in most parts of the country, apart from some rain with thundershowers in parts of Kashmir and adjoining hill areas.

Incoming food and nonfood items are being received by PRCS teams who prepare and dispatch the items to distribution sites where PRCS relief staff and volunteers, supported by relief ERUs, facilitate distribution to those affected by the floods. PRCS with support of its Movement Partners initially planned to provide assistance to 35,000 affected households (HH), but with the nature and extent of the disaster, PRCS and other members of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement upscaled the operation. The new plan deals with providing assistance to 300,000 HH all over the country. The breakup of the HH is as follows: KPK : 90,000 HH Baluchistan : 50,000 HH Punjab : 75,000 HH FATA : 5,000 HH GB : 5,000 HH Sindh : 75,000 HH There are 1,434 PRCS trained volunteers active for the floods operation.

  • Budget Speech by Murad Ali Shah Minister for Finance on 7Th June 2012
    BUDGET SPEECH BY MURAD ALI SHAH MINISTER FOR FINANCE ON 7TH JUNE 2012 Budget Speech 2012-13 Honorable Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to Almighty Allah for the honour that he has bestowed upon me. Sir, I feel privileged to stand before this august house to present the fifth budget of this democratically elected government in Sindh. It is with pleasure that I present this budget free of anynew taxes. It is indeed a tribute to our great leaders Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto that the PPP-led coalition government in Sindh has been able to bring perceptible improvement in the lives of our people. The visionary ideals laid down by Quaid-e-Azam inspired our leaders and guided each and every member of our government to reach this milestone. Mr. Speaker, over the last four years, the PPP-led government at the Centre and here in Sindh, has faced a multitude of challenges. Many of these were legacies of mismanagement passed down from previous regimes. Natural calamities the likes of which have not been seen at least in the recorded history also hampered our development. Despite these obstacles, under the brave and pragmatic leadership of the Honourable President of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari and the Honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan Syed Yusuf Raza Gillani and the guidance of Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah, we have successfully moved ahead and overcome the challenges with unflinching democratic will and commitment. We have remained steadfast in our resolve to strengthen democratic institutions in the country and have pursued the agenda based on reconciliation and consensus building with the broader objective of serving the people of Sindh to the best of our abilities.

  • Press Clippings from the Pakistan Disaster
    Associated Press Of Pakistan ( Pakistan's Premier NEWS Agency ) - President orders ... Side 1 af 1 President orders probe into reports of discrimination against minorities in relief operations SUKKUR, Sep 1 (APP) President Asif Ali Zardari has taken exception to the media reports that some members of the minority communities were denied flood relief assistance and driven out of the relief camps in Sindh province and called for an inquiry and action against officials if found involved. Spokesperson to the President, Farhatullah Babar said that the President taking note of media reports of a protest rally in Hyderabad on Monday against the maltreatment of Dalits in flood relief called for a probe into the matter and steps to ensure that no discrimination was shown in the relief and rehabilitation operations. The President said that floods were a natural disaster and should serve to unite the people, not divide them. It will be most unfortunate and reflect poorly on the country’s image and adversely impact on national unity if relief work was influenced by considerations of caste, creed or ethnicity. “All citizens of the country have equal rights and more so people who have been hit by the worst natural disaster in the history of the country. Discrimination on ethnic or religious grounds cannot be tolerated”, he added. President Zardari called for an inquiry into the reports of discrimination and appropriate measures to ensure that the relief work was not influenced by such considerations. The President also called for action against officials if found involved in discrimination in the relief and rehabilitation works, the spokesperson said.

    BUDGET SPEECH BY SYED QAIM ALI SHAH JILLANI CHIEF MINISTER SINDH ON 11TH JUNE 2010 Budget Speech 2010-2011 Bismillah- e- Rehman-er-Raheem Mr. Speaker It is indeed an honor for me to present the 3rd Budget of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party led coalition Government in Sindh. I am thankful to Almightly Allah for his blessings and for this opportunity to serve the people of Sindh. Earlier in mid- April, I placed the Government’s Performance Report before this August House for informing the people about the major programs and activities which have been started to provide relief to the people; to trigger growth in different sectors and to strengthen the human development efforts. The Pakistan Peoples’ Party led Government at the centre and here in Sindh has faced one challenge after another in the last two years but we have remained steadfast in our resolve to strengthen the democratic institutions in the country. Today, the parliament, the judiciary, as well as the media are fully independent and the levels of check and balance of one institution over the other, have increased and strengthened to a great extent. The policy of reconciliation initiated by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto effectively followed by our Co-Chairman and the President of Pakistan has paid off huge dividends. At our level it has helped to create greater understanding with MQM under the leadership of Mr. Altaf Hussain, PML (Functional) under the leadership of Pir Sahib Pagaro, ANP under the leadership of Mr. Asfand Yar Wali Khan, NPP under the leadership of Ghulam Murtaza Khan Jatoi and PML(Q).

  • BUDGET SPEECH Honourable Mr
    BUDGET SPEECH Honourable Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to Almighty Allah & people of Sindh for having bestowed upon me the honour and privilege to stand before this Honourable house and to present this first peoples Budget, after 2013 election, in which we have tried to provide relief inspite of financial constraints, keeping in view the vision of our leaders Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. Mr. Speaker, We all are here to serve a purpose. Let me put it in the words of my mentor and architect of our democracy, Quaid-e Awam, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto that ‘…power must pass to people or everything will perish’. Our sole purpose is to empower the people who have reposed their trust in this house, in this system. Let me remind you all that this house stands because of the sacrifices made by our leaders, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and the sacrifices made by the workers of Pakistan Peoples Party and people of Sindh. We are here to ensure that voice of people gets heard so that democracy sustains, so that people can live their lives in accordance with their beliefs, so that this land can flourish and develop. As a humbler worker of Pakistan Peoples Party, I am highly honoured to have been re-elected. I am thankful to the people of Sindh for reposing confidence in Pakistan Peoples Party and its leadership. By re-electing our Government, people have preferred continuity. People have preferred our policies and contribution we made during last five years to the promises of our opponents.
