To
ensure that no untoward incident takes place during monsoon, the GHMC
has taken a slew of measures. Since rain is expected in the next 48
hours, the concerned officials have been asked to be on high alert. The
civic body has also decided to paste caution notices on dilapidated
buildings or weak structures and ask the inmates to vacate the same.

The
GHMC has banned excavation activity till the end of monsoon. The
officials have been instructed to stop any work related to excavation of
cellars and also take precautionary measures like soil strengthening,
wherever necessary. It has also been decided to give vacation to schools
that are run in weak buildings.

In the case of listed heritage buildings, the civic body has decided to halt all the work.

Monsoon
