AJK Prepares for Monsoon Through Awareness Campaign and Emergency Measures

The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) government is taking proactive steps to prepare for the upcoming monsoon season, focusing on public safety and effective disaster management. With heavy rainfall expected, the administration has launched a comprehensive awareness campaign to educate residents on precautionary measures to protect lives and property. The campaign emphasizes staying informed about weather updates, avoiding flood-prone areas, and preparing emergency kits with essentials like food, water, and first aid supplies.

To strengthen emergency response, the AJK government has directed key departments, including the State Disaster Management Authority, police, health services, and public works, to remain on high alert. A dedicated control room will operate round-the-clock, coordinating efforts among health, police, district administration, and highways departments to ensure swift action during crises. Funds have been allocated to support these efforts, enabling rapid response to potential flooding, landslides, or road blockages. The government is also prioritizing the maintenance of road networks and sewage systems to minimize disruptions in urban areas.

The State Press Information Department will play a key role in sharing timely and accurate updates, ensuring residents are well-informed about weather conditions and safety protocols. Recent posts on X highlight public appreciation for these efforts, with many residents emphasizing the need for community involvement in disaster preparedness. By combining public awareness with robust emergency measures, AJK aims to mitigate the risks posed by the monsoon season and ensure the safety of its citizens.
