Chief Secretary Sameer Sharma instructed officials of the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) and other departments concerned to be prepared to tackle the impact of floods during the southwest monsoon.
Taking stock of the monsoon preparedness at a meeting on Wednesday, Mr. Sharma said that while the monsoon was delayed slightly, it was expected to bring copious rains in the second half of June.
Officials should, therefore, prepare an action plan to prevent loss of lives and damage to properties, he said.
