Commendable Efforts by the Commissioner Amid Heavy Rains
With continuous rainfall lashing the city, Municipal Commissioner Prafulla Desai has issued clear directives to the departments of Disaster Response Force (DRF), Town Planning, Sanitation, and Engineering to remain fully alert and responsive.
Taking swift action, Commissioner Desai, along with senior officials, conducted inspections across various low-lying and waterlogged areas on Wednesday. His visit covered key locations such as the Collectorate, ACP Office roads, Two Town Police Station, Kaman, Kattarampur, Alugunur Crossroads, Kothirampur, Ujwala Park area, Dobhighat, RTC Workshop, and Mancherial Crossroads — all of which were affected by water accumulation.
During the inspection, the Commissioner assessed the ground situation and immediately instructed officials to deploy DRF and sanitation teams to ensure floodwaters were drained efficiently through proper channels. He emphasized swift clearance of waterlogged zones to prevent further public inconvenience.
Further, he issued actionable instructions to all department heads and field staff to stay on high alert and continue monitoring rain-affected zones round-the-clock. The Commissioner reiterated the importance of coordination between departments to safeguard the city and its citizens from rain-related disruptions.
