Hyderabad - GHMC initiates series of precautionary measures to avoid untoward incidents

Similar precautions, such as soil fortification, retaining wall building, and barricading, would be implemented at basement excavation sites, and new cellar excavations would not be permitted until further notice. According to the directions given by the ghmc Commissioner, persons who live below the muddy terrain or next to retaining walls should be moved to safer locations before the monsoon.

The ghmc has given its Assistant Engineers (AEs) and Deputy Executive Engineers (DEs) the duty of overseeing safety measures at nalas as part of preventive preparations ahead of the monsoon.
If undesirable events take place in their particular wards, the AEs and DEs will be held accountable and disciplinary action will be taken. The ghmc gave the engineers the go-ahead to begin desilting nalas, repair the parapet walls, and make sure the nala is blocked in addition to chain fencing and other safety precautions. After desilting nalas, all of these actions should be done right away.
More men and machinery to be deployed
The ghmc has opted to deploy extra personnel and equipment as part of its monsoon action plan to guarantee that the public is not harmed during intense downpours. Inundations and other rain-related issues would be handled right away with the help of special teams, both stationary and mobile.
The special squads would supplement the Disaster Response Force (DRF) units sent out to respond to complaints when it rains. The Directorate Of Enforcement Vigilance & Disaster Management (EV&DM) of the ghmc keeps an eye on the DRF troops.
