DUSHANBE, May 18, 2016, Asia-Plus – The Committee on Emergency Situations and Civil Defense (CES) under the Government of Tajikistan warns that weather will remain unsettled until the end of this week.

Heavy rains may lead to mudslides and floods in some areas, and therefore, the Committee on Emergency Situations urges citizens to refrain from travelling to the dangerous areas.

We will recall that heavy rains last week caused floods and mudslides that have damaged homes and led to the evacuation of hundreds of people across the country.

The floods damaged more than 1,000 homes in several villages in the Roudaki district.  Floods and mudslides were reported in several other districts across the country.

Earlier last week, Tajik authorities said that three people were killed by mudslides caused by heavy rains in the Sughd province.
