Flood-hit employees: PTCL launches relief operations

Published Updated

Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), in order to ease the suffering of its employees and their families in rain- and flood-affected areas, is actively involved in providing them relief and work on their rehabilitation. PTCL has always supported its employees in the hour of need whether it was an earthquake, flood, aftermath of natural calamities or epidemic like dengue fever.
The recent rains coupled with floods have devastated a large area of Sindh and thousands of PTCL employees and their families have been displaced from their homes and have lost their belongings. In this hour of need, PTCL has extended its initial support to them in the form of essential food items and medicines and has launched its emergency relief operations for its employees and their families across Sindh.
According to details, relief bags have been distributed among the affected employees of Badin, Tando Muhammad Khan, Tando Allah Yar, Tharparker, Sanghar, Nawabshah and Larkana. The medical centers at Latifabad, Kotri, Mirpur Khas, Nawabshah and Larkana have been converted into flood relief medical camps while three mobile medical units are also providing medical care to the people of remote flood-affected areas.
PTCL has ensured that these camps and doctors are well equipped so that the maximum numbers of employees and their families benefit. SEVP HR and ADMIN Syed Mazhar Hussain assured that the organisation would provide support to do the best possible for early recovery and rehabilitation of the affected employees, hoping that the efforts and contribution by PTCL would help ease the hardships of the flood-affected members of the PTCL. --PR
