Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 3: In view of the rising water levels in rivers Tawi, Chenab and adjoining nallahs due to continuous rainfall, Jammu Police today conducted wide-scale public announcements across the district to alert citizens and ensure preparedness. These announcements were documented on video and shared to enhance public awareness and safety.
Our teams from Akhnoor, Khour, Phallian Mandal, R.S. Pura, Miran Sahib and adjoining localities carried out loudspeaker-based awareness drives in flood-prone belts. Residents were advised to stay vigilant, avoid unnecessary movement near embankments, and refrain from entering riverbeds or overflowing nallahs.
Through these announcements and videos, we aimed to directly reach the public with timely information. Citizens were also informed about emergency helpline numbers and assured that Jammu Police is fully prepared to extend immediate assistance in case of any distress or emergency.
Special rescue and relief teams have been kept on standby, with additional deployment of personnel in sensitive areas. Patrolling and monitoring of vulnerable spots are being carried out round-the-clock in coordination with the civil administration to ensure the safety of people and property.
Jammu Police appeals to all citizens to follow official advisories, remain cautious, and avoid spreading rumors. We remain committed to safeguarding every life and assure the public that all necessary measures are being taken during this critical weather situation. |
