Crisis can’t be averted until everyone acts responsibly: Sindh CM

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah on Monday regretted the federal government extended “zero help” to the Balochistan government in putting pilgrims arriving from Iran in quarantine at Taftan border.

He said ensuring quarantine facilities at the frontiers is the constitutional responsibility of the federal government.

“Crisis cannot be averted until everyone acts responsibly,” he maintained.

Sindh’s COVID-19 count reached 150 after more people returning from Taftan tested positive for the novel coronavirus, pushing the total number of cases in the country to 183.
