Lahore, Pakistan: A number of students, who belong to Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur districts, on Saturday demonstrated against Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif-led government for failing to protect people against floods.

The students were carrying placards and banners inscribed with slogans against the provincial and federal governments.

The students of the Punjab University, the Government College University and the King Edward Medical University protested against the government failure to save lives during floods in Taunsa Sharif city and Rajanpur, reports Dawn News.

Heavy rainfall and hill torrents in Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, and Koh-e-Sulaiman Range have inundated vast areas.

Apart from the deaths of people, a large number of cows and goats were swept away in the flooding from Chanalah and Makha.

Residents of the region have been demanding the construction of flood channels and other engineering structures for managing water.
