He announced a package of Rs 100 million for the provision of food, tents and other relief goods to the thousands who have been displaced.
He also announced a compensation of Rs 400,000 for each of the 15 people who lost their lives in the flash floods.

He said the Federal Government would provide the medicines and also make a significant contribution once the damage assessment is completed by the local authorities
