After the rain

A continuous rain spell for two consecutive days in different parts of Sindh has caused a lot of destruction in Larkana. The roads and streets have broken at a few places. The standing rain water has created a lot of problems for the vendors who are unable to set up their stalls. The standing water has also given birth to different viral diseases which are posing a serious threat to the health of children. The municipal department is a silent spectator of this dismal display of neglect. The provincial government must take quick action against the department and ensure that the area is cleaned in a timely manner.

The Sindh government must also direct the district coordinator officer to constitute a medical team to inspect the far-flung areas of Sindh where residents are facing serious health issues but are unable to afford a treatment because of their financial constraints. The Met department has given a forecast about more rains in the coming days. The government should come up with a plan to facilitate the areas that are likely to be affected by the heavy rains.
