Private Schools Directed to Ensure Structural, Electrical Safety Amid Heavy Rains
Private schools have been instructed by the Deputy Commissioner of Rawalpindi to prioritize safety measures following persistent monsoon rains. The directives aim to safeguard students and staff across the district.
Key Safety Measures:
- Clear roofs and prevent water accumulation immediately.
- Inspect school buildings for structural vulnerabilities.
- Secure electric poles, hanging wires, and hazardous electrical fittings.
- Conduct thorough structural inspections of rooftops and weak building sections.
- Report any dilapidated or unsafe infrastructure to the district administration promptly.
