Chief of Defence Staff and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir on Tuesday stressed the need for preparedness, effective inter-agency coordination and a swift response to protect lives and critical infrastructure amid ongoing monsoon rains and flooding across Pakistan.
During a visit to the National Emergencies Operation Centre (NEOC) at the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) headquarters, the army chief reaffirmed the armed forces’ full support for the civil administration and the NDMA in relief, rescue and rehabilitation operations, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Field Marshal Munir received a briefing on the country’s disaster preparedness and coordinated response arrangements for the current monsoon season.
The NDMA chairman also briefed him on the operational capabilities of the NEOC and its technology-driven response systems, including “Disaster Lens 2026,” which provides real-time monitoring of the monsoon situation and other potential hazards.
