- Water reservoirs to be built through consultation: PM.
- PM Shehbaz calls for joint efforts to safeguard people.
- AJK PM and GB CM to be invited to proposed session.
LAHORE: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday that a comprehensive strategy is being developed to build water reservoirs and improve water management across all four provinces, as well as in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit Baltistan (GB).
His remarks came as Pakistan is battling torrential monsoon rains that have unleashed flash floods, swelled rivers, and filled dams, with more than 840 deaths reported since late June. Amid the heavy rains, India released excess water this week from its dams, swelling river flows downstream in Punjab.
At least 22 killed in flooding in the province, along with dozens injured and widespread damage reported.
