Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday directed the administration to restore electricity and water supply in flood-hit areas at the earliest as the state slowly emerges out of the large-scale devastation caused by heavy rains and deluge. Mr Thackeray said a flood warning system will be in place in the coastal Konkan region, badly hit by landslides and heavy rains over the last few days, in three months. He asked the state administration to take up repair work of roads and bridges damaged due to the floods on a war footing so that they can be reopened for traffic, said a statement issued by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) in Mumbai. Mr Thackeray said cleanliness and hygiene should be maintained in the affected areas to ensure there was no spread of diseases.
