The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is taking proactive measures to tackle potential rain-related problems as the monsoon season approaches. Officials have outlined a comprehensive plan to mitigate flooding and ensure smooth drainage across the city.
Preparatory Measures
MCC has identified vulnerable areas prone to waterlogging and is undertaking desilting of stormwater drains. The corporation is also inspecting and repairing damaged roads to prevent accidents during heavy rains. Emergency response teams have been formed to handle crises swiftly.
Infrastructure Upgrades
Key infrastructure projects include the installation of new drainage systems in low-lying areas and the reinforcement of existing ones. The MCC is coordinating with the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre for real-time weather updates and alerts.
Residents are encouraged to report blockages or issues through the MCC helpline. The corporation aims to minimize inconvenience and ensure public safety throughout the monsoon period.
Community Involvement
Public awareness campaigns are being launched to educate citizens on preventive measures. The MCC urges residents to avoid dumping waste into drains and to cooperate with sanitation workers.
With these efforts, the Mysuru City Corporation hopes to manage monsoon-related challenges effectively and keep the city functional during heavy rainfall.
