The Acting District Administrator in Qacha’s nek, Mr. Majoro Maema has appealed to motorists and pedestrians to be cautious and halt their journeys to other districts because of the snowy weather.

The snow that started snowing on Tuesday night continues to fall.

Mr. Maema expressed concern that some motorists have a bad tendency of ignoring the snowy and unfavorable weather conditions, saying that in most cases they end up trapped in other areas before getting to their destinations.

He noted that it is dangerous to drive in this kind of weather, appealing to all motorists especially public transport drivers to stop the act as failure to do so impacts negatively to government’s resources that are sometimes used in relieving such trapped people back to their families.

He has also appealed to the public to stay indoors and avoid leaving burning fires at night in the house as they might cause accidents.

This is the second snowfall experienced in the district this year following the recent one that fell last month.
