The federal and Balochistan governments are planning to rehabilitate the victims of monsoon rains after two years.
Both the governments have started a project worth 60 billion rupees with the support of the World Bank.
Four project directors have been appointed for the project, which will be supervised by the Federal Department of Planning and Development.
Asfandyar Kakar, the supervisor of flood victims’ rehabilitation project in Balochistan, told Geo News that more than 30 districts were affected by floods that came after the 2022 monsoon rains in the province.
The floods destroyed 350,000 houses as well as damaged highways, bridges and agricultural crops.
In a joint survey of the federal and provincial governments, the damage caused by the floods in the province was estimated at 900 billion rupees, but after two years, last month ECNEC approved the rehabilitation plan for the flood victims of Balochistan.
The 60 billion rupees project focuses on four sectors including irrigation, housing, early hood and meteorology, while the project director of three sectors has been taken from Balochistan and the project director of meteorology sector has been taken from the federal department.
3500 houses will be constructed and given to the victims under the project in the first phase, while work will be done to restore the roads and restore the damage caused to agriculture.
