Staff Reporter

Karachi: Sindh Minister for Energy, Planning & Development, Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, has issued a strong warning of a potential super flood in Sindh, with a major flood wave expected to pass through Guddu Barrage within the next one to two days. He appealed to residents of the riverine (katcha) areas to immediately relocate to safer places or designated relief camps.

Nasir Shah stressed that “prevention is better than regret.” He said people must move now while safe evacuation is possible, warning that heavy rains or any unusual situation could make sudden evacuation extremely difficult.

The Minister highlighted that elected representatives, following the directions of PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and former President Asif Ali Zardari, are actively present to support citizens. He further noted that under the leadership of Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and Faryal Talpur, the Sindh government is fully mobilized across the province.

“The Sindh government is doing its part. We will not leave our brothers and sisters alone,” Nasir Shah assured. “We are hopeful the situation will remain under control, but we strongly urge citizens to cooperate with the administration in taking precautionary measures.”
