He directed district collectors to stay on high alert, closely monitor the situation, and if required, evacuate people from low-lying areas in advance and shift them to rehabilitation centres. The CM instructed officials to inspect causeways, identify stretches prone to waterlogging, and restrict traffic movement beforehand to prevent mishaps.
The Energy Department has been asked to ensure uninterrupted power supply and take precautionary steps such as removing dangling wires to avoid electrocution risks.
