After the Battagram dolly lift incident, the district administration of Abbottabad on Sunday took stringent measures against the non-compliance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to provide safety to the masses and sealed more than 15 dolly lifts in the district.
Assistant Commissioner Abbottabad Ali Sher Khan Khalil has launched a crackdown on violations of SOPs, substandard conditions and inadequate safety measures in elevators across various areas. These actions come as a response to concerns about the safety of elevator operations in the district.
Accompanied by a technical team comprising representatives from Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA), Communication and Works (C&W) and Rescue Services, the Assistant Commissioner personally oversaw the inspections. During these operations, a malfunctioning lift was identified and subsequently sealed in the Goharabad and Salhad areas of Abbottabad.
Officials are urging citizens to cooperate with the administration’s initiatives aimed at enhancing dolly lift conditions.
