Mumbai, July 5: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde instructed officials to watch the situation and keep the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) squads prepared as a result of heavy rainfall in several parts of the state, according to the CM’s office (CMO) on Tuesday.
Shinde spoke with Chief Secretary Manukumar Srivastava and gave orders to the guardian secretaries of all the affected districts to remain vigilant and maintain control of the situation.
To prevent any loss of life or property owing to severe rains in the upcoming days, the Chief Minister is in contact with the district collectors of every district in the Konkan region.
The CM has instructed residents to tell others about the flooding crisis caused by rising water in the districts of Raigad, Ratnagiri, Thane, Palghar, Sindhudurg, and Kolhapur in particular, and to make preparations for evacuation at suitable locations.
Officials are under orders from Shinde to closely monitor the situation in Mumbai.
