For districts prone to flooding, the PDMA has advised local authorities to prioritize clearing any debris or blockages from rivers and canals. This will help ensure smooth water flow and reduce the risk of flooding.
In flood-prone districts, the PDMA has urged the local administration to clear river and canal channels to prevent overflow. Additionally, residents are advised to avoid crossing rivers and streams during heavy rain and flooding to ensure safety.
