With only a few days left for the onset of monsoon, the district administration in Kodagu has directed the officials to ensure all precautionary measures are in place to handle any eventuality during the ensuing season.
It has asked the officials to gear up for tackling emergencies arising out of a possible landslide or flood and to be vigilant in disaster-prone areas keeping the men and material ready for any emergency relief works.
Deputy Commissioner B.C. Satish on Monday told the officials from all departments about monsoon preparedness. “Take all necessary precautions from your side and handle the emergencies effectively,” he said, while presiding over the meeting convened to discuss the measures to be taken in the event of emergencies because of heavy rains.
