BackThe Provincial Ombudsman Sindh, Mr. Muhammad Sohail Rajput, inaugurated the one-of-its-kind Climate & Disaster Justice Unit (CDJU), a pioneering initiative to ensure expeditious and justifiable redressal of complaints stemming from climate-related and man-made disasters.
The Unit will be a fast-paced mechanism resolving issues of delay, corruption, or neglect in relief, rehabilitation and public service delivery. It will be working on safeguarding vulnerable groups, inclusive governance, and coordination with UN agencies, NGOs, and civil society.
This initiative complements to the actions already been taken for advocacy for human dignity, equity, and the rule of law, solidifying the institution as an equitable, accessible, and people-centered watchdog, particularly in a region being battered more and more by climate uncertainty.
"In the event of disaster, justice delayed is not just justice denied, it’s denial of dignity. The CDJU brings justice to the frontlines of climate crisis.” said Muhammad Sohail Rajput, Ombudsman Sindh.
