During the Monday session, senior officials from the revenue, health, electricity and transport departments will present a consolidated status report on flood‑mitigation measures. Emphasis will be placed on clearing silt and debris from reservoirs, canals and drainage networks to prevent water logging. The government is expected to order swift removal of illegal encroachments and sandbags that obstruct natural water flow. Damage assessments of power poles, transmission towers and other critical infrastructure will be discussed, with instructions for immediate repairs to avoid prolonged outages during heavy rainfalls.
