“The Punjab government has mobilised all available resources for flood victims. Damage assessments are underway, and once the survey is completed, CM Maryam Nawaz will unveil a relief package,” Bokhari added.
She also criticized political opponents, saying, “Those pointing fingers at Punjab are the same ones whose provinces have suffered massive casualties from floods and rains. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, victims are still waiting for help, and the provincial government has failed to respond or assert control.”
