“A detailed report should be submitted to the district administration at the earliest,” she added.
The Deputy Commissioner also stressed that officers should take all precautionary measures to prevent human beings from going near streams, rivers or lakes for washing animals or fishing as streams and rivers are flowing with high quantum of water due to incessant rainfall.
