ROP Warns that Strict Action will be Taken Against People who Cross Wadis

Merge 104.8  |  26 July 2022

The ROP issued a statement, announcing that it will take strict action against anyone who endangers his/her own life, or the lives of others, by attempting to cross wadis during the current adverse weather conditions.

This warning comes after several wadi-crossing incidents were reported in recent weeks, some of which even led to the death of citizens and residents.

The reports come in spite of repeated warnings from the police against such behavior.

The ROP also affirmed its readiness to deal with any emergency situations that may arise during the heavy rains, and it called on people to take precautions by avoiding low-lying areas, wadis, and it urged parents and caretakers to keep a close eye on children.

Drivers were also asked to stay safe, by leaving enough distance between vehicles, and fishermen were asked to avoid the sea for now.
