MCC takes proactive measures to desilt drains ahead of monsoon
As the pre-monsoon rains approach, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) is taking proactive measures to desilt drains across the city, aiming to prevent floods. Past monsoon seasons have seen widespread waterlogging and clogged drains, resulting in artificial flooding on streets and in homes. To mitigate this issue, the MCC has launched a massive drive to clear the city’s drains, ensuring that the city is well-prepared for the impending monsoon season.
According to sources, the MCC has identified over 100 drains across the city that need to be desilted. The corporation has deployed a team of workers and machinery to clear the drains, which will help to prevent waterlogging and reduce the risk of flooding. The workers are working tirelessly to remove the accumulated debris and silt from the drains, ensuring that the water flows smoothly and the city remains safe and dry.
The MCC has also taken steps to ensure that the city’s drainage system is functioning properly. The corporation has conducted an inspection of the drainage network and identified areas that need to be repaired or replaced. The necessary repairs and replacements are being carried out to ensure that the drainage system is functioning efficiently and effectively.
In addition to desilting and repairing the drains, the MCC is also taking measures to prevent flooding. The corporation has set up a team of engineers and technicians to monitor the weather and drainage system, ensuring that the city is prepared for any unexpected rainfall. The team is also on standby to respond quickly to any reports of flooding or waterlogging, ensuring that the city remains safe and secure.
The MCC has also educated residents on how to prevent flooding and waterlogging. The corporation has launched a public awareness campaign to educate residents on the importance of maintaining cleanliness and clearing drains. Residents are being encouraged to clear any debris or silt from their drains and to report any blockages or issues to the MCC.
The MCC is also working with local residents and community groups to prevent flooding and waterlogging. The corporation has established a network of community volunteers who are working to clear drains and maintain cleanliness in their neighborhoods. The volunteers are also being educated on how to identify and report any potential flooding or waterlogging issues, ensuring that the city remains safe and secure.
In conclusion, the MCC is taking proactive measures to desilt drains ahead of the monsoon season, aiming to prevent floods and waterlogging. The corporation has identified and cleared over 100 drains, repaired the drainage system, and educated residents on how to prevent flooding. By taking these measures, the MCC is ensuring that the city is well-prepared for the impending monsoon season and that residents can live safely and securely.
