SINDH OMBUDSMAN ESTABLISHES CLIMATE & DISASTER JUSTICE UNIT (CDJU).
The Provincial Ombudsman Sindh. Mr. Muhammad Sohail Rajput, inaugurated 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 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 a disaster, justice delayed is not just justice denied, it’s denial of dignity. The CDJU brings justice to the frontlines of climate crisis” Muhammad Sohail Rajput, Ombudsman Sindh.
