The former Vice President urged residents to comply with safety directives issued by government and emergency management agencies, stressing that adherence to official instructions was essential to protecting lives as rescue operations continued.
He also appealed to emergency responders and relevant state institutions to intensify efforts to reach affected communities and provide swift assistance to those in distress.
“I urge citizens to comply with all directives issued by the government and to cooperate fully with institutions mandated to address the situation. I also urge the emergency services and all relevant authorities to do everything possible to reach those in need and assist them,” he stated.
