Mr Sherpao claimed that despite passage of one month the flood victims were waiting for food and water, while the “rulers were least interested in solving their problems”.

The government, he said, was bound to compensate the affected people irrespective of political affiliations and demanded for immediate steps for their early rehabilitation.
