The Commandant also briefed the deployment on the execution of a critical Monsoon Safety Advisory aimed at protecting local residents and visiting pilgrims from weather-related hazards during the ongoing rainy season.The public safety advisory strictly warns citizens against approaching or entering rivers, streams, waterfalls, and other water bodies during or immediately after rainfall. Commuters are advised never to attempt crossing overflowing bridges, flooded roads, or fast-flowing streams due to the high risk of sudden surges and bank erosion.
The administration emphasized keeping children away from water bodies and avoiding activities like swimming or taking selfies near rivers, urging everyone to rely solely on official updates from the India Meteorological Department and district authorities rather than spreading rumors.The advisory also outlines specific instructions for pilgrims, urging them to stick to designated travel routes, restrict unnecessary movement near vulnerable areas, and cooperate fully with emergency responders.
Residents in landslide-prone or low-lying areas are encouraged to evacuate promptly if advised by rescue teams. The department highlighted that any emergency situation, rising water level, or distress should be reported immediately to the nearest police or disaster management authorities to ensure rapid emergency intervention.
