He also went to the pump house located at Satrod village. The DC directed the officials of all the departments related to flood management to ensure smooth operation of electric pump sets.

He said extensive arrangements should be made in those areas where there had been more waterlogging last year and pump sets should be installed as per the requirement. “There should be adequate arrangements for speedy disposal of rainwater and water should not be allowed to remain stagnant in any area for too long,” he said.

Dahiya said that the action plans prepared by the officials concerned for the disposal of rainwater should be such that it goes into the drain automatically. He said the officials concerned must base their planning on the data collected during last year’s rains. The officials too, assured the DC that all efforts would be made for proper water drainage. Apart from this, sewerage lines and drains had been cleaned.
