in National Security / Tajikistan - by


The Hydrometeorological Center of Tajikistan warns of potential avalanches in mountainous areas under republican subordination, along the Dushanbe-Khujand highway, and in the western districts of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region. The danger is expected to persist from March 7 to 11, as stated by the department.

The Committee of Emergency Situations advises restricting travel on mountain roads unless absolutely necessary, refraining from agricultural activities, grazing livestock, collecting firewood, and hunting in mountainous areas during these days. It is also crucial to strictly follow fire safety regulations when using heaters and stoves.

To ensure the safety of drivers on the winter road and provide emergency assistance in unforeseen circumstances along the Dushanbe-Aini-Khujand highway, mobile rescue posts have been set up by the Emergency Situations Committee.
