ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stressed the need for an honest and non-political review of the tragic Swat incident, stating that such national tragedies require unity and seriousness, not point-scoring.
During a visit to the National Emergency Operation Center (NEOC), the Prime Minister received a detailed briefing on the preparedness strategies for potential floods during the monsoon season. Officials discussed proactive measures to mitigate the impact of heavy rains and protect vulnerable communities.
In his address, the Prime Minister recalled the devastating 2022 floods that destroyed homes and standing crops, emphasising the critical role of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in raising awareness and coordinating relief efforts.
Speaking on the recent tragedy in Swat, PM Sharif said, “We must rise above politics and assess the incident with sincerity. The nation mourns the loss of precious lives. All relevant institutions must work collectively to prevent such events in the future.”
