It is important to note that the prime minister has already proclaimed a state of emergency in areas affected by severe monsoon rains and flooding and has directed the finance ministry to give the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Rs 5 billion for rescue and relief efforts.

In places that have been severely affected by flooding and rain, a state of emergency has been imposed, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister’s House.

A joint committee of the NDMA and PDMA has also been formed by the PM in order to start rescue and rehabilitation efforts for flood victims.

The Prime Minister stated that the programs are their top priority and directed the Finance Ministry to give Rs 5 billion for the rescue and relief efforts. The PM said, “We will need to consider the people who are suffering as a result of our political conflicts.”
