However, the residents in villages on the banks of the river have to be cautious since water level in the river was still high. MPDOs and gram panchayat officials were directed to carry out sanitation works in the villages affected by floods to prevent spread of viral diseases, he noted.

Anudeep told the officials to drop oil wherever there was water stagnation, to supply clean drinking water, clean water sources and conduct medical camps in the villages. Fishermen were advised not to venture into the river for fishing.
