Rain relief will be expedited, says Collector

Officials of various departments asked to submit reports quickly

Emergency relief measures will be taken without delay in the rain-ravaged eastern parts of Kollam, District Collector Afsana Parveen has said.

After visiting the areas on Tuesday to assess the damage, she said that further action would be taken once the damage was estimated. The Irrigation Department has been asked to submit a report on the loss caused by the landslip near Shivan Kovil on the banks of the Kallada river in Punalur, along with the redressal measures taken.
