The Army Chief, General Asim Munir, visited the Kasur Sector and a flood relief camp in Jalalpur Pirwala, Multan, where he was briefed on the ground situation and ongoing rescue operations.

Emphasizing the need for coordinated civil-military efforts, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) said the state could not afford to lose precious lives and property to floods every year. He called for expediting infrastructure development and adopting a more people-centered governance approach to mitigate the devastation caused by recurring disasters.
