The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a warning about an impending heatwave starting Tuesday, which is expected to affect various regions significantly. According to an advisory released by the NDMA, severe heatwave conditions are anticipated in Punjab and Sindh, beginning on Thursday and continuing until the 27th of this month. The advisory emphasizes that temperatures are likely to soar to dangerous levels, posing serious health risks to the population. In light of the predicted heatwave and its potential hazardous impacts, the NDMA has advised the public to take necessary precautions. People are urged to avoid unnecessary exposure to direct sunlight, stay hydrated, and wear lightweight, light-colored clothing to minimize the effects of the heat. It is also recommended to remain indoors during peak sunlight hours to prevent heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke and dehydration. Farmers in the affected regions are specifically advised to manage their crops carefully and adjust their agricultural activities to align with the severe weather conditions. This may include altering irrigation schedules and providing additional shading for crops to protect them from extreme temperatures. Livestock owners are also advised to take measures to safeguard their animals. Ensuring that cattle have access to ample water and shade, and possibly adjusting feeding times to cooler parts of the day, can help mitigate the heat's impact on livestock. The NDMA's advisory aims to raise awareness and prepare both individuals and communities for the approaching heat wave, encouraging proactive steps to minimize health risks and protect livelihoods.

The capital city of Islamabad is currently facing significant challenges with encroachment in government residences, sparking concerns among residents and officials alike. This ongoing issue has drawn attention to the need for more effective management and enforcement of property regulations in the city. The government has issued a series of directives aimed at tackling this persistent problem. These measures are intended to restore order, ensure fair use of public property, and maintain the integrity of the city's urban planning. Inspection teams have been established for different sectors with Terms of Reference (TORs) outlined for their operations. These teams are tasked with submitting daily survey reports based on their findings. Additionally, any government accommodations rented out will be immediately canceled, with allottees given a 30-day notice for encroachment in government residences as per the TORs. Surveys have commenced in various sectors, facilitated by the Ministry of Housing, which has enlisted the Intelligence Bureau (IB) for the task. Following cabinet approval, IB sent a letter to the Ministry of Housing, and representatives of IB are actively participating in the survey of government houses. Notices have been issued to encroaching government employees, directing them to end encroachments within one month, with non-compliance resulting in allotment cancellation. Furthermore, notices have been issued to employees utilizing commercial residences and renting out government residences. Currently, 12 sectors of Islamabad are under survey, initially covering 17 thousand government residences, where more than 10,000 instances of encroachments have been reported, according to the survey findings. These comprehensive measures underscore the government's commitment to resolving the encroachment issue in Islamabad's government residences. By combining technological tools, legal reforms, community involvement, and strict enforcement, the administration aims to restore the intended use of governme nt properties and enhance the quality of life for all residents.
