MULTAN(National times)- Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday took an aerial view of Multan and Jalalpur Pirwala to see firsthand the flood-hit areas. This was her second trip to Multan in just over a week, as she had earlier visited the city on September 3. During today’s visit, she flew over the flood-affected zones to take stock of the situation on the ground. Meanwhile, the crisis continues to worsen as India has once again released more water into River Sutlej, while the heavy flow in River Chenab has also kept the situation in South Punjab on edge.

The goods will be handed over to the Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) for distribution.
