On Sunday, Anshul Mishra, the Cuddalore district monitoring officer, and District Collector Sibi Adhithya Senthil Kumar carried out a field inspection for flood prevention to evaluate the precautionary measures implemented to prevent flooding in the villages along the River Kollidam in Kumaratchi block, Cuddalore district.
During their visit to Perampattu, Thittukattur, and Kilagundalapadi, as well as the Kollidam riverbank, they assessed the embankments’ condition. The Collector directed officials to intensify monitoring and vigilance in low-lying areas susceptible to flooding.
Mr. Mishra emphasised that the Public Works Department must ensure the stability of embankments for rivers, lakes, and other channels. He also advised keeping sandbags ready to address any bund leakages during floods.
The Collector urged the public to avoid activities such as bathing, fishing, and taking selfies in the river, and to refrain from sending children or driving livestock through the Kollidam when water levels are high. He requested the community’s cooperation to ensure safety.
