Sources said that the Frontier Works Organisation had been tasked to strengthen the banks of Sallar Shakh and Janat Sakh — the two defence lines for Ratodero.

Heavy machinery and workforce have been moved to the area. PPP (Shaheed Bhutto) chairperson Ghinwa Bhutto, along with her son Zulfikar Junior, visited Janat Shakh, Akil-Agani loop embankment and Shahdadkot on Saturday. She called for expediting rescue work.
