Speaking on the occasion, Khursheed Alam said, “PDP is committed to standing with the people in times of crisis. Our immediate focus is on providing basic necessities to those who have lost everything in this tragic incident.”
The party also appealed to the government to step in and extend all possible humanitarian assistance to the affected families. “We urge the administration to take swift and effective measures to help the victims rebuild their lives. The government must ensure timely rehabilitation and provide the necessary resources to rebuild homes and livelihoods,” the delegation said.
