Following the directions of the Chief Minister, Pradeep Chandra spoke to District Collectors and asked them to convene District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) meetings immediately with the SPs.
He also directed the Collectors to shift the people, who are living in low level areas, to safe places by identifying the areas to be affected with the rain much before.
