As many 292 bags of 'relief items' carried mud instead of wheat, the report says

KARACHI (Dunya News) – The wheat bags sent as relief items for the drought affected people of Tharparkar turned out to be bags filled with mud on Saturday, Dunya News reported.

According to the details, the ‘relief items’ sent by the Sindh government turned more like a prank on the drought hit people of Sindh as it was revealed that as many as 292 bags carry mud instead of wheat.

The reported discovery is astonishing because the death toll of children who died of malnutrition in the past 40 days has soared to 42 and as many as 47 children are hospitalized in Mithi Hospital.

The Relief Judge evaluated the bogus bags and ordered strict investigation against those responsible.

Meanwhile, the show-cause notices served to Chief Minister Sindh Qaim Ali Shah and Sindh Minister for Prisons Manzoor Wassan were withdrawn.
