He also assured that his administration is actively working on a permanent solution to address the aftermath of the explosion.
“Yes, we have been battling with the fallout from the incident; we have been trying to give the affected people temporary accommodation so that they can continue their lives.
“Also, we have the people who got injured and need medical attention and the humanitarian side of it is that some children are supposed to be in school now. So, it is still very early days and we have to look at a long-term solution. We are also dealing with the security aspect of the incident.
“So, you need to keep encouraging us and supporting us where possible, as well as keep praying for us,” he said.
