Ahead of the monsoon’s imminent onset, the administrative machinery in Kodagu district, which faced floods and landslides for three continuous seasons, is geared up for the rains with officials visiting flood-prone areas and supervising preventive measures that are being put in place. After a series of disaster preparedness drills in Talacauvery and other places in the recent past with the NDRF team already camping in the district, the areas prone to floods and landslides based on the previous years’ data had been identified and accordingly steps had been taken for preventing loss of human lives besides readiness for rescue and relief operations. The NDRF team, along with the members of SDRF and other rescue teams, had consultations on the tasks ahead and all of them will coordinate in minimising the impact.More Related News
