Emergency teams that were usually put in place during the monsoon months at the sub-division level will now work round the year, said Tushar Giri Nath, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP) new Chief Commissioner.
Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, he said that he had reviewed the civic body’s rain preparedness and by May 25, emergency teams would be in place at the sub-division level. These teams will be equipped with the necessary machinery to attend to any emergency situation, including flooding, water logging, tree fall etc.
“These teams will be active all year long and be involved in continuous maintenance, unlike before when they would be in place only during the monsoon months,” he said.
