There is a history of frequent droughts in the region of Tharparkar. This is probably the fourteenth famine and the most ignored. Previous governments used to take preemptive measures right from the time when there was no rain till August. The current PPPs government not only woke too late to declare the region as calamitous but is still hapless in saving the innocent lives of the children of Thar. The PPPs leadership especially Mr Bilawal needs to take some pragmatic measures on prompt and priority basis otherwise the PPP could become a mere history.
