Gilgit-Baltistan CM demands Rs 12 billion for flood rehabilitation
ISLAMABAD: Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Minister Syed Mehdi Shah has demanded Rs 12 billion from the federal government for the flood rehabilitation in the province.
Mehdi Shah was addressing in a media conference ‘meet the press’ in the capital on Saturday.
He briefed the media that 395 villages and 647 kilometers long roads have been damaged while thousands of acres of land were destroyed.
He added that 25,000 people were affected by these recent floods in the province.
“After one month, winter season will start in Gilgit-Baltistan, which will add further troubles for the flood affected people of the province” Mehdi Shah added.
What is the break up of this request for Rs 12 billion?
The Chief minister should plot all losses on a GIS map and present an evidence based request to donors.
The losses should include : houses damaged /destroyed, bridges damaged /destroyed, roads damaged/destroyed, agricultural land damaged/destroyed, livestock toll, loss of economic livelihood, infrastructure losses (schools,health units,water systems, power plants.
I think FOCUS GIS department can help plot the data.
Thats good Idea.
