KARACHI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 29th Jul, 2022 ) :In the current unprecedented monsoon rain spell, Pakistan Navy continued to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief support to the people stranded in flash floods affected areas of Urki, Uthal, Lakhra and other small isolated areas of Lasbela District, Balochistan.
Commander Coast Rear Admiral Javed Iqbal along with officials of district administration undertook aerial visit of the flood hit areas to review relief activities.
