BANDAR IMAM KHOMEINI, March 27 (NIPNA) - The governor of Iran's Khuzestan province has lauded the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone Organization for its "jihadist" operations in response to severe rainfall and subsequent flooding in Bandar Imam Khomeini.

Seyed Mohamad Reza Movalehzadeh, the provincial governor, commended the organization's swift and extensive efforts, which included round-the-clock work to drain surface water and provide aid to affected areas, during a site visit to critical parts of the city. He highlighted the "timely deployment of logistical equipment and intelligent resource management" as crucial factors in managing the crisis and alleviating public concerns.

Hassan Abbaszadeh, deputy petroleum minister and CEO of the National Petrochemical Company (NPC), emphasized the petrochemical industry's commitment to supporting the public. He directed that logistical support and machinery from the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone and its resident companies should continue at full capacity until the crisis is fully resolved and all areas are cleared.

The Petrochemical Special Economic Zone Organization, under the guidance of its crisis management and passive defense command, deployed numerous high-pressure pumps, vacuum tankers, sludge trucks, and support vehicles from the onset of the heavy rains. This collaborative effort between the provincial government, the petrochemical industry, and local executive bodies has been described as a testament to the government's resolve to protect public welfare and utilize industrial capacity to address infrastructural challenges during emergencies.
