In view of the fast-approaching monsoon, Koppal Deputy Commissioner Nalin Atul convened a meeting of the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) at his office in Koppal on Tuesday. He then directed the officials concerned to take all precautionary measures to handle likely floods.
“Monsoon will hit the State shortly. We need to be prepared to handle any flood situation. Tahsildars must personally visit the areas that were affected in the floods last year and take precautionary measures to minimise the damage this year. They should discuss with the members and the officials of local elected bodies and take necessary steps. If any bills are pending for the works undertaken to repair the damaged assets, they should be paid quickly,” Mr. Atul said.
As per information provided by the officials at the meeting, 13 trips of tank water is being supplied daily to Tanakanakal village in Ojanahalli Gram Panchayat limits and Nageshanahalli and Jabbalagudda villages in Budugumpa Gram Panchayat limits.
