MULTAN: Senior PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi rushed to the site of a deadly oil tanker fire which killed 142 people and left scores of others wounded in Bahawalpur.
Speaking to media persons on this occasion, Qureshi lambasted the PML-N government for failing to set up adequate medical facilities or burn units in Bahawalpur and South Punjab.
“Had the administration cordoned off this area timely, this human tragedy could have been prevented. But administration or police failed to even show up at the site of the tanker crash for one and half an hour,” he lamented. “The safety measures could not be taken.”
“Bahwalpur is not only a district, it's a divisional headquarters. And yet it doesn’t have a single burn unit. Our priorities are not correct. There are no hospitals. People have no access to safe drinking water."
The government, he noted, has been spending billions of rupees on metros and orange train.
"The South Punjab continues to face a sense of deprivation. This is the 10th year of PML-N being in power. Where are the billions of rupees allocated for the development of South Punjab?” he questioned. - SAMAA
