Islamabad: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), through its National Emergencies Operations Center (NEOC), has issued a warning of a severe cold wave affecting northern regions and northern Balochistan. The harsh weather is expected to persist in Gilgit-Baltistan, Kashmir, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Potohar region, and northern Balochistan in the coming days.
The advisory highlights a sharp increase in cold intensity in northern Balochistan, particularly in Quetta, Ziarat, and Kalat, and cautions citizens to take appropriate precautionary measures to protect against health risks such as respiratory ailments.
Farmers have been advised to safeguard standing crops from potential cold damage, while commuters in plain areas are urged to exercise caution during morning travel, as dense fog may accompany the cold wave and reduce visibility.
The NDMA emphasized that it is coordinating with relevant institutions to ensure timely dissemination of early warnings and information on potential hazards, aiming to mitigate risks to lives, health, and property.
