The National Disaster Management Authority has issued a Medium-Level Landslide Alert for central and northern districts of Balochistan from tomorrow.

According to the assessment, very high landslide-prone zones include Quetta, Ziarat, Harnai, Sibi, Mach, Mastung, Kalat, Muslim Bagh, Pishin, Killa Saifullah, and surrounding localities, where continued precipitation may trigger repeated slope failures, posing serious threats to human life, road connectivity, and critical infrastructure.

In view of the prevailing situation, the NDMA has advised the general public to avoid non-essential movement in hilly and landslide-vulnerable areas during the alert period.

The public is urged to strictly follow advisories and instructions issued by local administrations, District Disaster Management Authorities, and traffic police.

Relevant authorities have been directed to ensure operational readiness of emergency response teams, machinery, and road clearance equipment to enable a swift response in case of any incident.

NDMA will continue to closely monitor the situation and coordinate with provincial and district authorities, while timely updates and advisories will be shared through official channels and Pak NDMA Disaster Alert mobile application.
