Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Memon said floodwaters are expected to enter Sindh between September 2 and 3, prompting the provincial government to activate emergency measures.

A control room has been set up at the Chief Secretary’s office to monitor the situation around the clock.

“All provincial ministers are present in the field,” Memon said, adding that the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and other rescue agencies had completed preparations.

The government has identified 551 relief camp locations, while 192 rescue boats, mobile health units, and additional resources have been deployed to vulnerable areas.

He further stated that water flow has intensified at Sukkur, Guddu, and Kotri barrages, heightening the flood threat.

Emergency contact numbers have also been issued for the public: 021-99222962, 021-99222758, 021-99222902, and 021-99222759.

Memon noted that 15 districts of Sindh are situated along the river and remain under close watch. He said the Sindh government, under the directives of Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is fully mobilised to tackle the crisis.

The minister added that the chief minister of Sindh will visit the affected regions on Sunday to review relief efforts.

“The government machinery is already present in the riverine (katcha) areas,” he said, urging the media to stay connected with the control room for 24/7 updates.
