00:00:00Who is the first responder and who is the second one who is near is the first
00:00:03responder and the one who found out first
00:00:05is also with the Two Holy Mosques will respond first and the rest will stand with him in support of
00:00:09him. Let's further this discussion. The areas that are affected by floods
00:00:12as we are talking about the response time
00:00:17we also declare should be minimal but there is a deployment of rescue boats, machinery and other
00:00:21staff and other resources how is that done
00:00:25is it already estimated that a flood of this level
00:00:28or a natural disaster of this level is coming so things are provided
00:00:32there in advance First of all
00:00:36there is institutional memory we have
00:00:39we say that these are vulnerable areas
00:00:42and if there is a low-level flood here these areas will be hit
00:00:45and if there is a medium-level flood these areas will be hit and if there is a high-level flood
00:00:49these areas will be hit
00:00:52accordingly so that the losses So under this institutional memory the areas that we have already identified
00:00:56which are vulnerable points there are about 575
00:01:00in the whole of Punjab We deploy
00:01:04them before the monsoon season starts We send life
00:01:07jackets there We deploy
00:01:11boats there We assign duties to the temporary
00:01:14rescue people there so that God forbid
00:01:18if there is a casualty of this kind
00:01:21it should not be that we don't have
00:01:24this is also one thought a government there or the machinery
00:01:26natural disasters are working, is not reaching yet This is one thing that is done, secondly, as I have
00:01:30mentioned before, the district-level flood
00:01:33contingency plan is made and at the provincial level, when we compile
00:01:36and circulate it every department is assigned
00:01:40a duty that this work is
00:01:44their responsibility and this time on the instructions of the Chief
00:01:47Secretary Sahib I have done another work in PDAM
00:01:50that we have made SOPs for every department
00:01:54that what will be their work in case of river
00:01:57flooding and in case
00:02:00God forbid a drought situation of urban flooding if there is urban flooding then
00:02:03we have also measured the alerts that if
00:02:07it rains 20 millimeters in half an hour
00:02:10what will we do and if
00:02:14it rains 100 millimeters in the next hour then which
00:02:18it happens response will be activated Similarly,
00:02:22if God forbid it rains too much,
00:02:25then which department will do what work at what
00:02:28time and it is
00:02:36and Madinah, the entire Ummah is not necessary that all the work is the responsibility of the Deputy Commissioner
00:02:40The Deputy Commissioner would be engaged somewhere
00:02:44on the first response on the first trigger he
00:02:47would have been activated But
00:02:51the District Control Center that we have set up
00:02:54that is its responsibility. and there is a danger of it, so we have also measured
00:02:58it in such a way that what will we do 10
00:03:10of Makkah and Madinah,
00:03:25So, first of all,
00:03:30days before, meaning
00:03:31it is also necessary
00:03:34if it is that there will be a flood
00:03:36and there is a flood in the Indus River
00:03:41in the world camps, their data is maintained, then it will come 10 days later, we are seeing that the inflow
00:03:45in the rehabilitation phase, at Tarbela has increased
00:03:51to their homes, but they and the capacity of Tarbela Dam has also been 100% filled, so obviously now the inflow of water
00:03:55will come down and when it comes down, we know that if the water
00:03:58increases up to four
00:04:01lakh cusecs, then where and in which district there will be a flood
00:04:05and what will be the lag time,
00:04:08necessary to counter then we have brought it down to seven
00:04:10days, if there are still seven days for the flood to come,
00:04:15have this message then which department will have done what work,
00:04:17then we have brought it down to three
00:04:21days that now in Muzaffargarh, this rush of water will enter
00:04:24after three days,
00:04:26condemn the attacks then who has to do what work that has also been written
00:04:30and which department has to do it, that has also been written. Now for
00:04:33this, the control center does not need the permission
00:04:37of the Deputy Commissioner, those things are in front of
00:04:40him, he has to issue alerts to those departments, activate
00:04:44them, place them there that this is your responsibility so that they reach their places
00:04:47in advance,
00:04:51Shehbaz Sharif Sahib so this time we have also done that.
00:04:52has with Saudi Arabia Okay, Saif Sahib, in recent
00:04:54condemn years, due to climate change,
00:04:57we are seeing that the pattern of rainfall or temperature
00:05:01is changing not only in Pakistan but all over the world.
00:05:05If we talk specifically about PDMA,
00:05:07solidarity what changes have come in disaster management strategy
00:05:10due to climate change
00:05:13What are the things that have changed
00:05:16considering climate change?
00:05:20Look, I will define it this
00:05:23way that every
00:05:26country has its
00:05:29own capacity to manage
00:05:33any disaster or crisis.
00:05:37If an earthquake of 6
00:05:40or 7 on the Richter scale comes in Japan,
00:05:43for them it has now become a hazard, it is not a disaster
00:05:47because they have changed their building construction
00:05:50building code accordingly, accordingly, they have made
00:05:54the infrastructure earthquake
00:05:57resilient, accordingly, they have done
00:06:01community awareness and training
00:06:05are minimized. For us,
00:06:09if God forbid, an earthquake
00:06:11of 4 degrees on the Richter scale comes,
00:06:15it will be a disaster because we probably
00:06:18do not have that level of capacity building. So due to
00:06:21climate change our departments
00:06:25or our institutions that have to work on disaster
00:06:28their capacity building has also improved
00:06:30over time. They are being well equipped, as I told you, you
00:06:34yourself gave the example of rescue, I told you about PDMA, similarly,
00:06:38NDMA is also improving its capacity
00:06:41They keep analyzing They keep giving forecasts
00:06:45They keep predicting the impending
00:06:49impacts For example, if a heatwave
00:06:53is forecasted, what strategy will be adopted for
00:06:56it? Where will heatwave camps be set up? Who will
00:07:00set them up? Similarly, if there is a drought somewhere,
00:07:04less rain now the El Nino year is going on, so this is also a forecast
00:07:07that maybe we will have less rain and
00:07:12develops. So for that, every department is preparing accordingly
00:07:16and its capacity has also improved accordingly,
00:07:19like PD. Okay, the public, the population
00:07:22is transferred to safe
00:07:26places due to floods and other natural disasters,
00:07:30how is the provision of food and clean water, medicines
00:07:33and other facilities ensured, how is a mechanism
00:07:37made for it? Look, the advantage of
00:07:41this is
00:07:52that how many animals, God forbid, can be hit by floods,
00:07:55so first of all, we have that data, secondly,
00:07:59every year, as I told you, a district flood contingency
00:08:02plan is made, in which data is mapped,
00:08:06those areas are mapped, then our flood relief
00:08:09centers are made, evacuation points
00:08:13are made, then the arrangements for their
00:08:17rations, the arrangements for animal fodder, the arrangements for their
00:08:20safe passage and custody,
00:08:24so they are catered for at our evacuation
00:08:27points and flood relief centers. In this, the concerned department
00:08:31whose responsibility it is, like the Livestock
00:08:34Department or the Agriculture Department, their responsibility
00:08:37is to take care of the animals, feed them, vaccinate
00:08:41them. Similarly, the human
00:08:44beings and their belongings are the responsibility
00:08:48of the district administration, which brings them to relief
00:08:53they are given food three times a day. Then
00:08:58PDMA provides them dry rations that they are returning
00:09:03are not at that level to start their cooking.
00:09:06So we provide them dry rations or those things.
00:09:10So accordingly, we prepare
00:09:42the survey was then properly evaluated at the AC level, at the DC level
00:09:46and the certified beneficiaries or those who suffered losses
00:09:49were given around 50 billion
00:09:53rupees by the Government of Punjab in flood relief
00:09:57where their houses were destroyed where human lives were lost
00:10:01their livestock was lost, crops were damaged
00:10:05and similarly besides
00:10:08that the other departments like
00:10:21So all these works are being done by the government simultaneously. Okay, there is another big challenge
00:10:25that remains, Saif Sahib, that is to timely inform
00:10:29the public about emergency situations and issue alerts.
00:10:32Despite that, we see that many
00:10:36people are not willing to leave their homes and on
00:10:39one hand, you people have to deal with all these natural disasters
00:10:43and make strategies, then on the other hand,
00:10:46it is for the benefit of these very people,
00:10:50their lives and property, and I think nothing is more important
00:10:54than life, but they are not ready to leave from there,
00:10:57so how challenging is this and what message
00:11:01would you like to give to the people who do not want to leave
00:11:05their lands and places like this? Look,
00:11:09it is a very difficult task, frankly,
00:11:12to remove someone from his home where he has his
00:11:15belongings, where he has sentimental attachment, it is a very difficult
00:11:19task. But on the other hand, if I say that in the flood
00:11:22plain areas, such permanent construction, such houses
00:11:25are not allowed, some people even
00:11:29build their residences inside the riverbeds
00:11:32and grow crops, because now
00:11:36even restaurants and hotels are built like that.
00:11:39So first of all, on this,
00:11:43what I told you that the data we are going to maintain,
00:11:49that these areas should be completely
00:11:52evacuated from here, but that is obviously
00:11:56a difficult task, it has its own cost.
00:11:59Information reaches everyone, now with
00:12:03the usage of social media at this time,
00:12:07then through various TV channels, then we keep
00:12:11issuing alerts, there is no shortage of information,
00:12:14then its orthodox method
00:12:17is that we announce in mosques, the revenue field staff
00:12:21informs the people, the union council
00:12:25reaches the people, but evacuating them from
00:12:29there is a very big task,
00:12:32then shifting their belongings from there,
00:12:35shifting their livestock,
00:12:38they always resist and ultimately
00:12:43that the family members are shifted,
00:12:46one male member remains
00:12:49and then God forbid if
00:12:53a flood of that level comes,
00:12:58then that is a challenge, but I say that there will be no
00:13:01bigger challenge than the last time,
00:13:04Inshallah. In the operation
00:13:08that happened in Jalalpur Pirwala, about two hundred thousand
00:13:11people were evacuated, that was not a small task
00:13:15and the Chief Minister herself monitored
00:13:18it and people were evacuated and
00:13:22evacuated with minimum death toll, God forbid.
00:13:26Okay, with the changing weather in Punjab, the threat of
00:13:29smog remains every year and we have
00:13:33seen that last year also, PDMA and the Environment
00:13:36Department are very active in this.
00:13:40Along with that, the Forest Department is also working on it.
00:13:44Despite all these departments, what is the role of PDMA
00:13:47in this? Look,
00:13:50our senior minister is playing a very important
00:13:53role in this. The Environment
00:13:57Department has been activated and resources have been provided
00:14:01to them. They have been given their
00:14:04own force for this. So the Environment Department
00:14:08is actively working on this. Then there are other departments
00:14:12like the Transport Department, the Smog Commission
00:14:14that Transport Department keeps taking
00:14:18action on it, the Traffic Department keeps taking action
00:14:21on its own. Then there is stubble burning, on that the Agriculture
00:14:27Department and the District take action. So since the senior
00:14:30minister herself is looking after smog through the Environment Department, you must have seen
00:14:34that
00:14:37even before the smog started, the campaign has
00:14:41been started and wherever
00:14:44there is such unauthorized burning or violation
00:14:47of EP rules, the government has started taking action
00:14:51against them and last year also you saw that Lahore
00:15:25people keep asking about the weather. People
00:15:28are provided with their required
00:15:31information. And if
00:15:35any such information is received through this helpline.
00:15:38Then the concerned district is activated or
00:15:42the concerned department is activated. Its data is properly maintained
00:15:45and when that issue is resolved
00:15:49then its certification is also done. At the end
00:15:53of the program, what message would Saif Sahib like to give
00:15:56as the whole world is facing climate
00:16:00change, Pakistan is also facing it, especially Punjab
00:16:03is also facing it? What message would you like to give, especially
00:16:07to those people who can play their role somewhere
00:16:11in dealing with these natural disasters with you people? Look, first
00:16:15of all, I say that any society,
00:16:18in it, the offices of the government or the departments
00:16:22can only work effectively if the community
00:16:25also, the public also supports
00:16:28them equally. So the request to the public
00:16:32and to those people is that, keeping in mind the changing
00:16:36circumstances, where alerts are issued,
00:16:40cooperate with the government departments and facilitate the government's
00:16:44work so that their and their children's
00:16:47loss of life and property can be avoided. Thank
00:16:51you very much, viewers, as DG Sahib gave the message
00:16:54that the government or PDMA is doing its work, Rescue 112
00:16:58These institutions that have been established to deal with
00:17:04but the responsibility there is also how you, the community,
00:17:07are supporting them. As we have seen,
00:17:11this year and last year, Rescue 112 recorded
00:17:15the most cases of people's house roofs collapsing.
00:17:18When you see that your roofs are in critical condition,
00:17:22before any loss of life occurs, get them repaired. Similarly,
00:17:26when alerts are issued by PDMA that
00:17:29this area is a red zone area, then you yourselves
00:17:33should evacuate. Do not endanger your lives
00:17:37for a few animals or livestock, and the department
00:17:40or the government cannot respond timely
00:17:44and extra efforts are made to save each and every person.
00:17:48So the smog season is coming. Those people
00:17:52who burn garbage or crops and create
00:17:56a strong cause of smog
00:18:00around their own area and homes, ignore that too,
00:18:03because the government cannot succeed in all these tasks
00:18:37for the protection of the Two Holy Mosques
00:18:40are ready to sacrifice their lives.
00:18:44Because the sanctity of Allah's house and
00:18:47the Prophet's tomb is part of our faith. For their
00:18:50protection, we will not hesitate to make
00:18:54any sacrifice. The Federal Minister for Religious Affairs,
00:18:57scholars and elders expressed
00:19:01this act. A web of conspiracies
00:19:05was woven against Muslims in every era. But
00:19:08Allah Almighty granted us success. We have
00:19:12a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia
00:19:15regarding Mecca. And for this, we will always
00:19:19support them. On the occasion
00:19:22of the Protection of the Two Holy Mosques Conference,
00:19:26the elders expressed their views to Pakistan
00:19:29Television, saying that the Two Holy Mosques
00:19:32are the most sacred places for the entire Muslim
00:19:36Ummah. It is the center of love
00:19:40for the entire Ummah, it is our spiritual center. People from
00:19:43the entire Ummah and from all over the world go
00:19:47there for worship. So that is our red line. If
00:19:51anything like that happens there, we cannot tolerate it
00:19:55in any way. We, on behalf of Pakistan, on behalf of the people
00:19:58of Pakistan, on behalf of the scholars of Pakistan, on behalf of the youth,
00:20:04of the Houthi rebels. Pakistan has already,
00:20:08Alhamdolillah, the defense agreement between Pakistan, Saudi
00:20:11Arabia and Turkey has come into effect and its purpose is also
00:20:15to unite the Muslim Ummah. This agreement also states
00:20:18that any countries that want to join it, this
00:20:22place is open for all of them. But
00:20:25despite this, attacks on the Holy Mosques are extremely regrettable
00:20:28and we strongly
00:20:32them. All the scholars,
00:20:34all the leaders of political and religious parties.
00:20:38Today, on this topic, they condemn the Houthi
00:20:42rebels and declare
00:20:44with the Saudi government.
00:20:48We support the stance of the Government
00:20:52of Pakistan, which
00:20:55and the alliance
00:20:58of three countries
00:21:02formed under the Makkah Agreement,
00:21:07our support for it and this alliance
00:21:10between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey
00:21:14is for the security of the entire Islamic world
00:21:17and may Allah Almighty make our country a place of
00:21:21peace again and protect the Two Holy Mosques.
00:21:24The current situation that has arisen
00:21:28over Saudi Arabia in the form of recent attacks
00:21:31by Houthi rebels has caused extreme
00:21:35concern among the entire Muslim Ummah and an extremely
00:21:38regrettable situation has arisen. Basically,
00:21:42the protection of the Two Holy Mosques is part of our faith,
00:21:46it is part of our lives, it is included in the high
00:21:49status of our lives. Through this conference, we want to awaken
00:21:53the Muslims of the entire world and especially the three
00:21:56countries, Saudi Arabia is in it, Turkey
00:22:00is in it and Pakistan
00:22:03is in it. We want to convey to them that the entire Ummah
00:22:07is with you. Stand firm in this field and
00:22:11Inshallah, Allah Almighty will grant you victory in all circumstances.
00:22:14I strongly condemn this action of the Houthis
00:22:17who have attacked the center of the Islamic world,
00:22:21the Two Holy Mosques and I believe
00:22:25that this is not an attack on Saudi Arabia, this is
00:22:28an attack on the Islamic Ummah and this attack
00:22:32is an attack on the faith of the Islamic world. From these
00:22:35attacks, which the Houthis have carried out
00:22:38on Saudi Arabia and especially on
00:22:41Makkah and Madinah, the hearts of Muslims
00:22:44have been hurt and Muslims are worried about
00:22:48this. The purpose of calling the conference was that
00:22:52all Muslims are one, united,
00:22:55for the defense of the Two Holy Mosques
00:22:59we are united and
00:23:03Inshallah, all such nefarious designs, by the grace
00:23:07of Allah, we will bury them and
00:23:09Inshallah, together
00:23:13we will protect the Two Holy Mosques, this is
00:23:17the duty of the entire Ummah, not just Saudi Arabia, it is the duty of the entire Ummah.
00:23:23So, Inshallah, we, for the protection of Makkah
00:23:26with Saudi Arabia and Inshallah,
00:23:29we will ensure the protection of the Two Holy
00:23:32Mosques and similarly, our government,
00:23:36the Government of Pakistan, has also adopted a very good
00:23:39stance, it has condemned
00:23:42these attacks and
00:23:45our DG ISPR has also
00:23:48announced
00:23:51that the Pakistan Army and Pakistan
00:23:54can go to the last limits
00:23:57for the defense
00:24:00for the defense of Saudi Arabia. An agreement has been made
00:24:04between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
00:24:08to help each other in difficult
00:24:10times.
00:24:15based on the agreement with Saudi Arabia,
00:24:21that we help Saudi Arabia. As far
00:24:24as the Two Holy Mosques are concerned.
00:24:27Then it is the belief and faith of every Muslim
00:24:31that they should protect the Two Holy Mosques.
00:24:34So now the time has come
00:24:38for Pakistan to implement this agreement.
00:24:41And fulfill its duty, fulfill
00:24:45friendship. Implement the agreement. And
00:24:49if there is any threat to the Two Holy
00:24:51Mosques, then it
00:24:54is also
00:24:58it that this agreement is implemented.
00:25:01All Muslims
00:25:05that the defense of the Two Holy Mosques
00:25:09is part of our faith. For this, we are ready
00:25:12to make every kind of sacrifice. Because
00:25:16when it comes to faith
00:25:19and its religion, there can be no negligence
00:25:23in it, there are no two opinions in it and that is
00:25:26why the conference being held here today,
00:25:30conferences have been held regarding the Two Holy Mosques
00:25:33before and then Pakistan has an agreement
00:25:36Alhamdolillah, which our Prime Minister
00:25:42and Turkey, the security
00:25:46agreement that has been made is for establishing peace
