The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), in collaboration with the MyGov platform, has launched a nationwide Poster Making Competition on the theme "Stay Cool, Stay Safe". The initiative aims to raise awareness about heatwave preparedness and encourage students to use their creativity to promote safety during extreme weather conditions.
