After an emergency meeting held yesterday (Thursday 8 March), The Ministry of Interior and the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) is asking all of us to exercise caution and abide by safety requirements.
Not only that, but authorities have also issued a warning that residents must avoid wadis or expect legal action to be taken by way of hefty fines.
The warning extends to visiting mountains during the extreme weather conditions.
