DERA GHAZI KHAN: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice President Maryam Nawaz reached Taunsa Sharif to express solidarity with flood victims.

She visited affected areas of Tibbi Qaisrani, Narri and Raitra (in Taunsa), distributed some relief goods among the people and mingled with displaced women.

She said widespread damage to houses and infrastructure had saddened her. She made an appeal to philanthropists all over Pakistan and abroad to help their devastated brothers as this was not the time to do politics.

Maryam was accompanied by Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah and husband retired Capt Safdar.
