Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in an important meeting held on Monday with senior government level officials, reviewed the ongoing preparations in view of flood management and safety of public life and gave necessary guidelines in the wider public interest.
Chief Minister Yogi said that the well-planned efforts made in the last 7 years for a permanent solution to the problem of floods, which has been a cause of widespread loss of life and property in the state for decades, have yielded good results. There has been an unprecedented reduction in the number of flood-prone districts. As per the advice of experts, we have succeeded in minimising the threat from floods by using the latest technology. Good work has been done through inter-departmental coordination to protect people’s lives from floods. This year too, the safety of people in the event of floods should be ensured through better coordination, quick action and better management.
