Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday that providing rescue and rehabilitation to people affected by rains and floods is our collective responsibility.
Addressing the media after the federal cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Shehbaz said that the remuneration was paid to the families of those who lost their lives during the rains.
More than 700 people have been killed and nearly 1,000 injured in molly -related incidents across the country since June 26, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

On total deaths, at least 356 were reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In Karachi, at least seven people lost their lives while heavy showers flooded districts, paralyzed paralyzes and caused widespread power outages, which prompted the mayor to declare a rain emergency.
He said that under the supervision of the military’s chief of staff (COAS), Marshal Syed Asim Munnir, the Pakistani army actively participates in rescue operations.
