Sindh fears over 1.6m people at risk amid flood threat

[GEO.TV] Sindh's Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has warned that as many as 1.6 million people across 1,657 villages could be affected if floodwaters enter the province in the coming days.

Speaking to the media on Saturday, Memon said the provincial government had activated its machinery and was taking advance measures to deal with the situation. Ministers are on the ground, while the district administration is also actively engaged, he added.

The minister's remarks come as vast swathes of land have been left inundated in floodwaters in Punjab where at least 30 people have been killed and more than 1.5 million have been affected due to swelling Sutlej, Chenab and Ravi rivers due to torrential rains and water discharge by India.

With efforts underway to move people to safe locations, as many as 481,000 people have been evacuated from flood-hit areas in the province.
