BADIN: Ali Hassan Hing­orjo, special assistant to the chief minister for relief and rehabilitation, on Thursday expressed concern over flooding in Badin district due to failed drainage system.

Speaking to journalists after receiving a briefing on the post-rain situation in the district, Mr Hingorjo said he would prepare a report and present it to the chief minister for appropriate action.

He said any official found to be negligent or irresponsible would have to face the music.

He said an assessment of losses was under way while the affected people were being rehabilitated.
