KARACHI: The government of Sindh made several administrative changes on Tuesday night in the wake of reports of death of over 100 children in drought-hit Thar and criticism of the government’s perceived failure to take timely action to contain the crisis.

“I can confirm that Senior Member Board of Revenue, Lala Fazl Rehman, has been removed from his post,” Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said late on Tuesday night.

The minister also told this reporter that Makhdoom Jamil-ul-Zaman had been relieved of the charge of relief, although he would continue to work as minister for revenue.

Mr Memon said that PPP Sindh’s leader Taj Haider had been given the charge of relief commissioner.
