PESHAWAR: Awami National Party has demanded of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to declare emergency in all the flood-hit districts of the province and ensure immediate provision relief to the calamity-stricken people.

In a statement issued here on Friday, ANP provincial president Aimal Wali Khan expressed deep concern over the causalities and loss of properties due to flash floods in different districts of the province, and urged the provincial government to shift the affected people to safer places.

He said that the video footages shared on social media amply proved that the people in many districts, including Swat, Tank, Dera Ismail Khan and Kohistan, had suffered irreparable losses.
