Collector inspects flood-prone areas in Tirunelveli; reviews preparations to avoid deluge during monsoon

As heavy downpour is likely to pound the district during the ensuing Northeast monsoon, thanks to the effects of ‘Super El-Nino’ this year, District Collector Anand Mohan inspected on Saturday the vulnerable areas in Tirunelveli city and discussed with the officials about the precautionary measures being taken so far to assuage the impact.

“Since most of the weather predictions anticipate heavy downpour within short duration during the Northeast monsoon this year due to the El-Nino effect resulting in severe flooding, we’re inspecting these spots to take every precautionary measure based on the past experiences to save the public and the infrastructure,” said Mr. Anand Mohan during the inspection.
