There is a lack of reaction from government, after the drought in Tharparkar; there is same response as it was in the last drought. There are no doctors available in basic health centers of the desert and that patients are treated by dispensers and watchmen which is pure injustice with them. There are quarter-to-2 lakh inhabitants in Cholistan. Due to the absence of health care centers and doctors there is a high increase in pregnancy related deaths.
Government is attentive to deal with any undesirable condition and all government organizations have completed planning, said by spokesman.
