After the breach of some lakes in Mandya during rains last year that left many areas flooded, including the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, the district administration has asked the officials to strengthen the embankments of the lakes and other waterbodies ahead of monsoon to prevent such occurrences during rains this year.
In the meeting of the District Disaster Management Committee, in Mandya on Tuesday, Additional Deputy Commissioner H.L. Nagaraj told the officials concerned to take up repair works of the lakes coming under their jurisdiction since the levels have dropped in the waterbodies to facilitate the works.
He said Mandya is in the grip of a heat wave and sought details from the officials on any incidents reported due to heat waves in the previous years.
