Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike Commissioner K Jairaj has stated that precautionary measures taken by the Palike against heavy rain was “satisfactory”.

Despite heavy rains causing widespread damage in the City, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike Commissioner K Jairaj has stated that precautionary measures taken by the Palike against heavy rain was “satisfactory”.

He has claimed that the BBMP has minimised the damage due to rain by taking preventive measures. “The Palike has been successful in minimising water logging this year. In the previous years the Palike used to get reports of water logging in over 90 per cent of places for this amount of rain.

Whereas this time it has come down to five to six places,” Mr Jairaj said.

However, he admitted that the Palike cannot achieve 100 per cent success in its efforts to tackle rain-related problems. “The public should also co-operate with the Palike. They should stop dumping garbage into storm water drains”, he said.
