Shaheed Benazirabad Division's SBA Commissioner has issued a 90-day ban on bathing and swimming in canals to ensure public safety.
The Shaheed Benazirabad Division’s SBA Commissioner has imposed a 90-day ban on bathing, swimming, and recreational activities in canals, branches, and waterways within Sanghar district. This decision was made following a request from the Deputy Commissioner of Sanghar and aims to enhance public safety.
According to local officials, the ban is necessary due to concerns over water quality and potential hazards associated with open water bodies during this period. The notification was issued on Monday and will remain in effect for 90 days, providing time for authorities to address any underlying issues that may pose risks to public health and safety.
Local residents have expressed mixed reactions to the ban. While some appreciate the move as a precautionary measure, others are concerned about the impact it might have on their daily routines and leisure activities. The ban covers all canals, branches, and waterways within Sanghar district, ensuring that no part of these water bodies will be accessible for recreational purposes during this period.
The SBA Commissioner’s decision underscores the importance of maintaining public safety and environmental standards in the region. Authorities are urging residents to seek alternative safe sources for bathing and swimming until the ban is lifted.
