KHAIRPUR NATHAN SHAH: Umme Rabab Chandio reached here on Saturday and offered her condolences to the families of Nooriabad tragedy and expressed deep sorrow over the tragic loss of children, women and men.
While talking to newsmen, Rabab said that the tragedy has happened not only to her but to the whole of Sindh adding it is not normal to pick up 19 dead bodies from the same house at the same time. She said I can feel its pain because I too have witnessed 3 funerals of my loved ones at once.
She said people will come, condole and leave, but they know the pain as soon as it passes. She said that I think that our rulers should be ashamed of this incident and I will hold the current government responsible for this horrific incident. She said that for the second time wrong has been done with Khairpur Nathan Shah wherein it has been submerged in flood water.
The flood that occurred in Khairpur Nathan Shah was not an egg, the original path of the water was not the same as they did not give the water the right path due to which Khairpur Nathan Shah drowned. She said due to the flood, the people had left their beloved hometown with their children and women.
Rabab said when the flood water left their homes, the people were returning to their homes when the terrified incident took place. She said billions of rupees are taxed on the M9 Motorway, if the affected people had been rescued on time, there would not have been so much damage.
She said that tragedies do not happen to us naturally, but such tragedies are made to happen to us. No matter how big the tragedy is in other countries, timely rescue is done, but our government should also take measures. She said that she has come to share sorrow and grief.
Rabab said that Chief Minister Sindh did not come during the flood, but he even did not visit the affected persons during the horrifying loss of human lives. She said that the Sindh Chief Minister should have come here to the grieved relatives on the first day. She demanded compensation of Rs10 million to the bereaved families and Rs5 million to the injured.
