If it rains for four days, we may face a crisis like 2014. We must review what was done, where money was spent, and how much Jhelum’s capacity was increased,” he said.

Thanking the Almighty for improved weather, Omar said water levels were receding but urged the government to reassess measures taken since 2014. “We can’t afford to face the same situation again,” he added.(KNS)
