NDRF, SDRF, Police and Fire Brigade to Coordinate Seamlessly
Reviewing the situation with senior civil and police officials, the Deputy Chief Minister instructed authorities to accord the highest priority to protecting human lives and ensure uninterrupted coordination among the NDRF, SDRF, police, fire brigade and revenue departments for rescue and relief operations.
She directed officials to evacuate residents from vulnerable areas without delay, provide safe shelter, food, drinking water and medical facilities, and restore disrupted power, water supply, healthcare and communication services on a war footing. She also asked district officials to keep control rooms operational round the clock, issue timely warnings on floods, landslides and dam water releases through SMS, social media and local authorities, and submit regular situation reports to the state government.
With water levels in dams rising and large-scale discharge underway, several bridges across rivers have been closed to traffic.
