\nAftab Sherpao said that the recent floods were no less than a tragedy that has wiped out hundreds of villages, communication systems, houses.
\nHe said the provincial and central governments should take pragmatic steps to get the province out of its trouble times,adding that the province suffered unprecedented losses as waters have submerged orchards and settlements in many districts.

\nHe said that the natural calamity has completely destroyed people, cattle, houses, infrastructure and crops.
\nMr Sherpao said that the supply of food, medicines and other relief items to the victims should be ensured and the affected families should be shifted to safe places.

\nHowever, he lamented over the lackluster response of the provincial government in testing times and said floods have completely destroyed our infrastructure and canal system, but the government of KP was still reluctant to take practical action.
\n He said that due to the destruction of Munda headworks, the farmers of Charsada, Mardan and Swabi will face a lot of difficulties in irrigating their lands, so the government should take immediate steps in this regard.
