Floods are also likely to occur in separate mountainous regions of Sughd region. In this regard, the Committee of Emergency Situations and Civil Defense under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan advises people suffering from heart diseases, diabetes and hypertension to take precautions. It is also recommended to drivers and hikers not to ignore traffic rules on such busy days. In such days, it is very important to keep a distance between the vehicles, as the possibility of rock falls from the mountains is also high.
