A team of officers, led by Deputy Commissioner Nitesh Patil, went on city rounds in Belagavi on Wednesday to inspect areas prone to flooding during heavy rain and to explore steps to prevent flooding.
The team visited Piranwadi Cross, Old PB Road, Khasbag, KLE Hospital Road, among other places. It also walked around some low-lying areas, as part of the inspection.
The Deputy Commissioner directed the Municipal Commissioner to remove garbage dumps in the central part of the city. Mr. Patil directed officials to immediately clear storm-water drains and take steps to see that low-lying areas are not inundated when it rains.
