Machilipatnam, November 28:

District Collector DK Balaji has instructed the district officials to be alert in the wake of the upcoming Ditva cyclone. 

On Friday morning, at the Collectorate PGRS Hall in the city, the District Collector, along with Joint Collector M Naveen, Assistant Collector Farhin Zahid, DROK K Chandrasekhara Rao and Additional SP Satyanarayana, held a meeting with the district officials on the cyclone precautionary measures. 

Speaking on the occasion, the District Collector said that the district has received a serious warning in the wake of the Ditva cyclone. He said that there is some difference between the Ditva cyclone and the Montha cyclone. 

He said that the Montha cyclone had winds of 90 to 100 kilometers per hour. However, there will be no such winds due to the Ditva cyclone and heavy rainfall will be recorded. 

He said that all precautions should be taken in advance like in the case of a cyclone. He said that due to this rain, water will stagnate around houses and in crop fields. He said that take it as a challenge and make arrangements in advance to remove rainwater immediately.

People living in houses in low-lying areas and people in damaged houses should be shifted to safe areas and rehabilitation camps should be set up. 

He said that JCBs and electric saws should be kept ready as in the past so that there is no problem in traffic due to falling trees. He made it clear that farmers should not suffer any loss due to the paddy getting wet anywhere in the district.
