Authorities have urged citizens to stay away from these high-risk areas and report any signs of structural distress. The operation highlights a growing emphasis on shared civic responsibility, with both government bodies and residents encouraged to take proactive steps in preventing preventable monsoon-related tragedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign comes amid a broader effort to ensure building safety and infrastructure resilience in the face of increasingly unpredictable weather patterns across Sindh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
