Caretaker Chief Minister of Balochistan Mir Ali Mardan Khan Domki also directed PDMA and district administration to coordinate relief operations on the situation in the city.

Newly elected member of assembly and head of ‘Haq Do Tehreek’, Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman said that the situation in Gwadar is serious due to lack of proper drainage system. The water entered the houses instead of moving out.
Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman said that spending billions of rupees has become a burden for the people instead of mercy. Hussain Wadela, Chairman of Haq Do Tehreek and volunteers are helping the people in every possible way.
