Dear Friends This is the case of everywhere as PDMA or all other governmental institutions have lost their credibility and capacity to deal with this highly scientific and technical issue of data collection.
Regards Zulfi Civil Society of Thar rejects fake data of PDMA
Mithi: Civil society rejects PDMA figure of district Tharparkar and condemns the distribution of ration from district government in IDPS and appeals from Sindh government of the accountability.
‘This monsoon rain has brought much destruction even it has been recorded in district Tharparkar (1370mm) , one lakh people have come from outer districts, two lakh people of the district have been homeless, , 1,70,000 cattle have been died, 50% of the towns and 80% of the villages homes have been completely damaged, 100% of the barrage side crops in three Union counsels have been destroyed whereas 80% of the crop of arid side have been destroyed.
The district government has given fake data to PDMA and we have concerns that UN and other institutions would make polices as per that, said by civil society activist and Chairman of Maroarra Disaster Management Commission Noor Bajeer in the press conference of the civil society which held under the umbrella of Maro-arra coordination council (Network of 65 GOs and NGOs organization) at local hotel here at Mithi.
