7/9/2023 10:23:00 PM
Early Times Report
KISHTWAR, July 9: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kishtwar, Dr Devansh Yadav today inspected water-logging hit areas in Kishtwar Township and its surrounding areas of Wasser, Kuleed, Zellna and Sangrambhatta.
The team inspected the ongoing dewatering efforts to address the water logging problem caused in some parts of the town due to heavy rainfall for the last two days.
Accompanied by a team of officers, including Tehsildar, Muneeb Umar; XEN PMGSY, Mohinder Kumar; Executive Officer MC, Ninad Sen; Naib Tehsildar, Sohaib Ahmed and representative from GREF and Secretary District Red Cross Society, Sheikh Asgar, the DC diligently examined the affected areas.
Dr Devansh Yadav informed that the response mechanism to tackle the situation was activated immediately after the rainfall began. He emphasized that all relevant line departments swiftly mobilized their resources and personnel to expedite the dewatering process in the affected parts of the Town.
The DC further stated that instructions were issued to ensure the prompt clearance of water from all roads and lanes, particularly those leading to critical establishments such as hospitals and receiving stations.
To effectively manage the situation, all line departments, including PWD, Jal Shakti, MC, JPDCL, Traffic, and Police, have deployed sufficient manpower and machinery on the ground. Additionally, a dedicated control room has been established, reachable at 01995259555, to facilitate communication and coordination.
Dr Devansh Yadav emphasized that officers have been designated as nodal officers for different zones to closely monitor the situation within their respective jurisdictions.
The DC acknowledged the significant challenge posed by water-logging due to inadequate drainage in the district. In response, the district administration is expediting efforts to address this deficiency through a comprehensive drainage project, aimed at effectively mitigating future incidents.
Furthermore, the DC urged the general public to exhibit civic sense by refraining from disposing of garbage, plastics, and unwanted materials into the lane drains, as such practices lead to blockages and exacerbate water-logging problems.
For getting information and updates on the current situation, the public is encouraged to contact the designated control room at 01995259555.
