The deadliest weather related disaster is flood that has effected Pakistan particularly Sindh. In Sindh, district Khairpur at the moment is housing huge bulk of displaced people from Larkana, Kashmore, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, and many smaller villages like thul, ghouspur and the Kacha areas of Khairpur etc. The registered displaced people are more than 50,000. Around 120 camps are housing people in small clusters. These range from 250-300 people in smaller schools to 5000-8000 in bigger schools.
Came to Lahore through Kurakuram Express train by 12:50 noon very lately today, as its arrival schedule in Lahore station was 10:00am (Mostly trains of our country arrive and depart lately).
Any ways, rushed to one of the small guest houses in Gulburg area lahore where I was pleasantly received by the guest house manager who offered me a fruit drink; this sort of hospitality is commonly done by the hotel management with every next guest who comes in.
It was really surprising to me that Lahore’s weather is quite pleasant now days and seems fresh wherein washed and polished grass and trees were exposed of having heavy rains for the last many days.
The organizers of our trip to India have planned each one of our activities in a way where learning, sharing and caring attitude of all the members will be their high priority.
We shall leave by 4:30am by tomorrow morning through waghah boarder by bus, the excitement is on high volume, as every one in this program is so excited, because most of the visiting fellows are going to India for the first time to study new vistas of learning which are pertinent to development sector and I am also one of them.
As per plan, we will be received by the Indian ministry people at Dehli who in later will explain us the program of rest of our days.
Ada have nice journey!
