To facilitate this, new houses under the Indiramma scheme will be sanctioned at a single location for the affected residents. Additionally, the CM emphasized the need for scientific assessments of the Akeru Vagu stream's flow and water management. He ordered the construction of a new bridge to better control the flooding.
