Residents living near riverbanks, especially in the hilly areas of Dera Ghazi Khan, have been warned of potential flooding. Additionally, crossing rivers and streams should be avoided to mitigate the risk of accidents. Rescue agencies across the province have been instructed to remain on high alert on the 8th and 9th of Muharram to respond promptly to any emergencies. Citizens are advised to contact the PDMA helpline at 1129 in case of emergencies. This advisory comes as part of PDMA's ongoing efforts to ensure public safety during the heavy monsoon season coinciding with the significant religious observance of Muharram.
