Watan Cards and Relief Efforts of the Government for Flood Victims

Byline: _ HALANI -- The month of August usually brings happiness for the nation as it celebrates the Independence Day on August 14 and the celebrations at the gross roots level cont8nue for around a couple of weeks- starting a week earlier and continuing for over a week later, till almost 20th. But this year unfortunately the country experienced the worst floods in the recent history as the floods besides the routine glacier met flows from the northern areas were heavily supplemented by the continuous heavy rains that resulted into unprecedented swell in the rivers which in turn spilled over their protective embankment inundating vast areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh causing widespread destruction. But Sindh being the coastal province was affected the most, as all the water had to eventually enter the Arabian Sea, as far as loss of lives and properties was concerned.
