Minister for Law and Minorities Welfare N. Md. Farook went around the areas abutting the Kundu river and inspected the measures initiated to ensure constant supply of essential commodities and drinking water in areas prone to face submergence.
He instructed the Electricity Department officials to ensure uninterrupted power supply in the town and also directed the Roads and Buildings (R&B) officials to keep a check on trees falling across the roads and highways due to the heavy winds.

With the water level in Kundu river going up, she directed the Irrigation, Municipal and Revenue officials to alert the people residing in the low-lying areas.
