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.

Badin Deputy Commissio­ner Rafique Quraishi in his briefing said that the upper Sindh districts of Ghotki, Khairpur and Kandhkot-Kashmore were the worst-hit by the recent rains.

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