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.
