On December 7 while hearing a suo motu notice over child deaths due to malnutrition, the chief justice had announced that he will be visiting Thar and had directed the Sindh government to make arrangements.

“Newborn children are dying in Thar and there are also issues pertaining to the supply and distribution of water over there. I don’t want to tour only the good areas but also ones where poverty and issues are prevalent,” the top judge had remarked.
