The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a critical warning for potential urban flooding in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) as heavy monsoon rains continue to lash these regions. According to the NDMA, the relentless downpours are expected to exacerbate the risk of urban flooding, particularly in low-lying areas and major cities.
Residents are advised to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to safeguard themselves and their properties. The NDMA emphasizes the importance of clearing drainage systems, avoiding travel through flooded streets, and staying informed through official weather updates. Emergency services have been put on high alert to respond promptly to any incidents.
In addition to urban flooding, there is a heightened risk of landslides in hilly areas, which could disrupt transport and communication networks. Authorities are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of the public, urging cooperation from all citizens.
As the monsoon season progresses, it is crucial for communities to remain prepared and adhere to the guidelines provided by the NDMA to minimize the impact of these adverse weather conditions. Stay safe, stay informed, and prioritize safety during this challenging time.
