Chairman CDA Muhammad Ali Randhawa personally monitored emergency response operations conducted by CDA, District Administration, and the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI), following heavy rains and hailstorms that affected various parts of Islamabad. Emergency teams swiftly cleared fallen trees, waterlogging, and debris from major roads, effectively restoring normal traffic conditions.
In response to heavy rainfall and harsh weather conditions, teams from CDA, District Administration, and MCI were promptly mobilized with explicit instructions to provide immediate relief and assistance to the public. The collaborative effort was aimed at minimizing disruptions and ensuring public safety across the city.
Under the directives of Chairman CDA Muhammad Ali Randhawa, multiple CDA wings including Emergency & Disaster Management Directorate, Sanitation, Environment Wing, Building Control, Islamabad Water Agency, and Road and Maintenance Wing actively participated in the clean-up operations. Their coordinated measures facilitated rapid clearance of fallen trees, debris, and obstructions on key thoroughfares.
During his on-site inspection, Chairman CDA emphasized expediting efforts to complete remaining clean-up activities, clear standing water, and fully restore smooth traffic flows as quickly as possible. Staff and machinery from the Sanitation, Environment, and Engineering wings were already strategically deployed to unblock water channels, cleanse drains, and remove any hurdles in city underpasses and drainage systems.
Furthermore, CDA authorities activated a dedicated monitoring system to ensure efficient drainage, particularly in low-lying zones, underpasses, and critical roadways. Chief Commissioner Islamabad and DG Civil Defence Muhammad Ali Randhawa, who accompanied Chairman CDA, closely supervised these emergency measures, reinforcing effective coordination among all relevant agencies and traffic police personnel.
Residents of Islamabad expressed their appreciation for the swift response and effective measures undertaken by authorities under the proactive leadership of Chairman CDA Muhammad Ali Randhawa.
