Speaking to reporters in Mysuru before beginning his tour of rain-hit districts in the State, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the State Government will prepare a special plan after receiving a report from experts on providing a permanent solution against flooding of houses situated near rivers in flood-prone areas of the State.
“If not entire villages situated along the rivers, at least the houses built near the rivers should be shifted to safer places. I have asked for an expert opinion on the matter. A special plan will be readied in this regard in the coming days,” he said.
In Uttara Kannada district, the residents of about 63 houses have already been shifted to safer places. “While some families have left, a few others have not shifted,” he said.
