ISLAMABAD:

Climate Change Minister Dr Musadik Malik on Tuesday stressed the need for regulating water flow and flood protection measures to ensure sustainable flood management in the coming years.

He said that every encroachment-whether buildings or settlements obstructing natural water routes-will be cleared in collaboration with the provinces, with no extension beyond the 10-month deadline.
