ISLAMABAD
\nPakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) Central Spokesperson Shazia Marri on Wednesday criticised the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government over its handling of the aftermath of recent heavy rains, calling for immediate relief and compensation for affected families.
\nIn a statement, Marri said the recent rainfall had exposed shortcomings in the province\u2019s infrastructure, including roads, drainage systems and other civic facilities, causing hardship for residents.
\nShe said despite being in power for an extended period, the provincial government had failed to improve basic public infrastructure and services, blaming the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government of prioritising political rhetoric over public welfare.
\nThe PPPP spokesperson also criticised the PTI\u2019s performance on governance and institutional matters, stating the party had failed to meet public expectations and had focused on political confrontation instead of addressing citizens\u2019 concerns.
\nExpressing grief over the loss of lives in Peshawar and other parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa due to the recent rains, Marri extended condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for the recovery of those injured.
\nShe also expressed sympathy with families that suffered financial losses, saying the PPP stood with those affected during the difficult period.
\nWhile acknowledging that natural disasters could not be prevented, Marri said their impact could be minimised through effective planning and timely response. She termed the provincial government\u2019s emergency preparedness \u201cdisappointing\u201d and said providing prompt relief to affected citizens was the responsibility of every government.
\nShe called for immediate rescue and relief operations, a transparent assessment of damages and adequate compensation for victims. She also urged the provincial government to strengthen its emergency response system and prioritise the protection of lives and property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
