In the same context Mr. Nawaz Sharif visited the affected populations and made a public announcement for Rs. 100 million towards relief and rehabilitation of the affected populations. The local relief organizations asked me to enquire progress of this announcement. Accordingly I rang up Mr. Rizwanullah Beg then posted in the capacity of Commissioner Disaster Relief Government of Punjab. He confirmed to me that in fact this sum was transferred by the government of Punjab to the disaster relief account towards utilization for relief and rehabilitation of the disaster affected populations.
