On this occasion, Ms. Tahira Jahangir emphasized the need for citizens—especially children, the elderly, women, and youth—to adopt precautionary measures. She advised avoiding unnecessary travel during rainfall, keeping children away from accumulated water and open manholes, and urged elderly individuals and women to be cautious on slippery surfaces.
Addressing the youth, she urged them to act responsibly, avoid unnecessary driving or riding, and prioritize their own safety as well as that of others. She stressed that as responsible citizens, everyone must demonstrate discipline, caution, and mutual cooperation to prevent any untoward incidents. She added that educational institutions have a responsibility to raise awareness among students and parents regarding safety precautions during such situations, so that collectively a safe and well-organized society can be built.
