During the monsoon season, early measures should be taken so that no area of the city becomes waterlogged, he said, adding that the officials should take measures to remove the accumulated silt and debris in the sewers, and to clean the drains so that rain water does not stagnate anywhere.

“Monitoring should be done to ensure that the works were undertaken in a planned manner and completed on time. Special attention should be focused on the areas where the flood situation has arisen during the last monsoon,”he said.
