The government has directed all District Development Committees and municipalities in the country to arrange for the construction of helipads within their area.
Fire and Disaster Management Section of Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development has written to the local bodies on Friday for the same.
The direction comes after the Cabinet’s decision earlier in the month to construct the helipads for easing the transportation of relief and construction materials to different parts of the country in the aftermath of disasters.
The local bodies have been asked to coordinate with respective District Disaster Relief Committees for the purpose but a timeframe has not been fixed. (PR)
