MQM urges effective steps to help affected

The MQM has called upon the authorities concerned to take allout measures to help the flood-affected people.

Addressing a press conference at the headquarters of the Muttahida’s Khidmat-iKhalq Foundation, senior MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar said that MQM had established a countrywide network for providing relief goods to flood victims and so far it had sent goods worth Rs20 million.

He said that MQM’s zonal offices in big cities had been converted into relief camps. In Hyderabad and Sukkur, he said, a large number of MQM workers were taking part in efforts being made for strengthening embankments on the Indus River.
