RAWALPINDI:
Clogging of Nullah Leh and its tributaries pose a threat of urban flood in Rawalpindi. In this regard Deputy Commissioner Umer Jehangir on Saturday directed to expedite the process of cleaning 11 tributaries, which fall in Nullah Leh, in the wake of more rainy moon-soon season this year. Chairing a meeting he suggested the Rescue 1122 to initiate a proposal for setting up a Search and Rescue Centre 200-300 meter downstream at the junction point of Nullah Leh and Sawan River. He also ordered Rawalpindi Waste Management Company to clear garbage dumped at nullahs. He said the Rawapindi Municipal Corporation would be held accountable for any kind of encroachments at the brinks of the tributaries.
