The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has imposed an  extreme cold weather emergency due to the “extraordinary cold wave” that has gripped the province.

“This extraordinary cold wave is taking the form of a disaster which is likely to threaten lives of needy people who are without shelter, food and warm bedding,” said a notification issued by the KP relief department Monday.

The provincial government has imposed the emergency under Section 16(A)(1) of the National Disaster Management (KP) Act, 2010.
