Hyderabad’s Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, has set a deadline of June 4 to create a Disaster Management Plan for Greater Hyderabad to deal with flood issues during the upcoming monsoon season. He warned officials of strict action if Hyderabad’s reputation is damaged.
To prepare for the rainy season, the Chief Minister held a meeting with various department officials at Central Command Station in the city. He instructed them to develop a Disaster Management System for Hyderabad by bringing multiple departments together. The goal is to have a system that operates year-round, not just during the monsoon.
The new plan should cover desilting of drains, garbage collection, securing open cellars, and finding solutions for flood-prone areas. Revanth Reddy will conduct surprise inspections after June 4 to check on disaster management efforts, power supply management, and response to consumer complaints during the monsoon.
The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of regularly cleaning drains in areas like Secunderabad Cantonment. He stated that those who work diligently will be rewarded and promoted. Regular meetings with GHMC and other civic agencies will be held to ensure everything runs smoothly and to maintain the city’s reputation.
