Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asked the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to work with provincial disaster management authorities to develop a coordinated program to prevent incidents such as the recent Swat tragedy.
He made these remarks during a visit to the National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) of the NDMA in Islamabad on Tuesday. He also directed the compilation of complete reports on such incidents, noting that around 49 people have lost their lives, with several other injured, through Pakistan.
Stressing the state -of -the -art internship, Sharif assured that the government would provide all the help necessary to strengthen the Institute and improve its capacity.
Prime Minister Shehbaz revealed that he had in charge of the Minister of Planning Ahsan Iqbal and the Minister of Climate Change Musadik Malik to guarantee subsidies and investments, rather than loans, through public-private partnerships aimed at building resilient infrastructure in Pakistan.
Addressing water safety, he expressed his concerns about the provocative actions of India concerning the Industry Water Treaty and announced that the government was building non -controversial water storage facilities using Pakistan’s own resources.
The PM has also highlighted Pakistan’s vulnerability to climate change, noting that the country is now increasingly sensitive to cloudbursts, despite little for global greenhouse gas emissions.
He also pointed out that the recent devastation caused by a sudden glacial merger due to an unprecedented heat wave requires the highest level of preparation to mitigate future risks.
