Friendly countries have never left Pakistan alone in trouble, COAS Gen Bajwa

SWAT: Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa while talking to the media during his visit to Kanju, Swat said that friendly countries have never left Pakistan alone in trouble. The assessment of severe flood damage is yet to be done, the survey will be done jointly by the district administration, provincial governments and the army to assess the large-scale damage caused by the flood.

He said that there has been a lot of damage in Kalam, bridges and hotels have been badly damaged. In the flood of 2000 there was a similar disaster here and again negligence was shown by allowing them to build in places. Legal action should be taken against those responsible. The most important thing at this time is to open the Kalam road. Hope to open the road in 6 to 7 days.
