BENGALURU: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has instructed all district deputy commissioners to distribute compensation for crop loss and house damage immediately to those affected by rains.
The CM held a video conferencing with Deputy Commissioners (DCs) and Superintendents of Police (SPs) of those districts which have been receiving heavy rain in the last three days and asked them to take up relief measures. A survey must be undertaken immediately and take repair works wherever necessary. The districts which have huge water bodies must be extra vigilant to prevent any deaths, he said.
The CM also directed the DCs and SPs of Ramanagara, Mandya and Mysuru districts to allow vehicles on alternative routes because of waterlogging on Mysore-Bengaluru National Highway due to heavy rain.
Bommai said roads and bridges damaged due to rains must be repaired immediately and the officials concerned must work in coordination. Power supply must be restored whenever there has been disruption, and quality food must be served to people taking shelter at the care centres, he added. (ANI)
