KMC urges citizens to take monsoon precautions
Following the monsoon showers of last week and the plethora of problems they brought for the city, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has issued a set of precautionary measures it feels could help citizens better prepare for the rainy season. In directives issued on Sunday, KMC chief Laeeq Ahmed called for all departments to be on high alert over the coming weeks as the monsoon season continues and could bring about further civic challenges for authorities to tackle. With incidents of electrocution and billboards falling having been reported throughout the past week of rains in Karachi, the civic authority has urged all citizens to make a conscious effort to stay away from electricity poles and be on the lookout for fallen wires or exposed connections. The same was also advised with regards to billboards and other large hoardings as citizens were told to be wary of their surroundings and try to avoid standing near such installations during rains, particularly if they are accompanied by strong winds as is often the case in the coastal metropolis. In case of emergencies, complaints can be lodged at '1339', while the disaster management and fire brigade departments can be reached at 16, and parks’ department can be contacted on, 99204300, if people encounter fallen trees post-rain. Last week, at least seven lives were lost in rain-related incidents since the first spell of monsoon rains commenced in Karachi on Tuesday evening, according to rescue authorities. أكثر... ??????? ??????: KMC urges citizens to take monsoon precautions || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
