KARACHI (Web Desk) - Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon has rejected reports about Sindh government having refused to accept Punjab government’s offer aid for drought-hit district Tharparkar.
Speaking to media, the minister said that neither the Punjab government extended such an offer nor the Sindh government rejected that.
“There is a no question of accepting or rejecting an offer when it was not extended,” he added.
Memon said that the provincial government was using all the resources to cope with the situation in Tharparkar.
People in Tharparkar, the desert area of Sindh, are facing famine-like situation in most of the areas where at least 32 malnourished children are reported to have died owing to food shortage.
At least 193 children have died in Thar over the past three months.
