VASCO: With the monsoon season approaching, the city of Vasco has commenced extensive pre-monsoon preparation activities. Efforts are being made to ensure that the city is well-prepared to handle the heavy rains and potential flooding that are characteristic of the monsoon period.
City ward councillor Shami Salkar highlighted that measures are being taken to address dangerous trees, which pose a significant risk during storms. “We have started cutting down hazardous trees. For this purpose, we have procured a crane from GSL,” Salkar stated.
Vasco MLA Krishna Salkar emphasized the importance of timely intervention. “The pre-monsoon works have been initiated on time to mitigate any adverse effects of the monsoon. One of the critical tasks has been desilting drains and water channels to prevent flooding,” he explained.
Additionally, MMC Chairperson Girish Borkar assured residents that pre-monsoon efforts are being carried out across all wards, with special attention given to low-lying areas prone to water accumulation. “We are making sure that every ward, especially those in low-lying regions, is prepared for the rains. Comprehensive measures are in place to tackle any potential challenges,” Borkar confirmed.
These coordinated efforts by the city’s administration aim to safeguard Vasco and its residents from the challenges posed by the imminent monsoon season.
