Following instructions from Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, Rescue 1122 remains on high alert across Punjab in vulnerable flood areas.
Teams at flood rescue posts in Dad Baloch, Kora Shah Zairin, Qutub Shahana Bridge, Murad Dalo, Nuran Sanpal, Dadra Bala, Murad ke Kathia, Sial Jhangi, Chak Bandi, and Abadi Amirabad evacuate people and move them to safe locations. Despite canceled leaves, rescue personnel work tirelessly day and night to serve the public.

He praised the brave teams who continue working despite heavy rains and adverse conditions and assured the district administration and the public that Rescue 1122 is fully prepared to handle such emergencies.
