Flood survivors seek food items
MANSEHRA, Nov 13: The flood survivors, who were shifted to Hazara from Kohistan after the calamity, have demand of the provincial government to provide them relief goods.
“Hundreds of the affected families migrated to Hazara after their houses were swept away by the floods. We are still living here as there is no shelter for us and until the compensation money is paid, we need food and other edibles. The government should its help in this regard,” Tor Khan, a flood survivor, told journalists here on Saturday.
Flanked by other displaced Kohistanis, he said that more than 600 families were shifted to Mansehra and Abbottabad following their houses were swept away by the devastating floods.
He said that they were passing through testing times as they were without food and their children were hungry but the district administration was not helping them. “We cannot afford two times meal as whatever we had taken with us is finished and our children are without food,” he added.
He said that they had applied for Watan Cards but compensation money was yet to be disbursed as the documentary formalities were being finalised by the Nadra officials in Kohistan.
He appealed to the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to make arrangement for the provision of relief goods and expedite legal formalities for the distribution of Watan Cards.
He said if they received the cards in time they could reconstruct their houses and shift there.
