Anjum Parvez, district in-charge secretary, has asked officers of various departments to work in coordination to ensure effective flood management.
He asked officers to keep a close watch on the inflow into reservoirs and outflow, water levels in rivers, rainfall and discharge from neighbouring States, including Maharashtra, to ensure scientific and effective management of floods.
“Officers have a responsibility in managing the flood situation and also ensuring that people are not adversely affected by floods. To do this, all of us have to work in coordination. We should also be in constant touch with our counterparts in neighbouring States,’‘ he said, at a meeting in Chikkodi in Belagavi district on Thursday.
