Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar has exhorted the Bhadrachalam district administration to be geared up to tackle the situation effectively even if the water level reached 80 ft.
Steps should be taken to evacuate people living in the low-lying areas and areas which were likely to get inundated to special camps. Ten NDRF teams, five teams from the Army and rescue team from Singareni Collieries Company Limited were dispatched to Bhadrachalam for taking up rescue and relief operations.
The Chief Secretary reiterated that the focus should be on ensuring that there was no loss of life and measures should be taken to see that there was no major loss to property because of the flood. He directed the Bhadrachalam District Collector to take necessary steps to provide basic amenities in all the relief camps.
