- The central team held a meeting with different 13 departments of the system and reviewed
Navsari district was devastated by heavy rains and floods in three rivers. The inter-ministerial team of the center which came to inspect the situation then visited Navsari city today after visiting the rural areas. Today, the municipal administration shifted the central team members to Vijalpore instead of the flood-affected areas of the city, which also led to many arguments.
Torrential rains created desolation in the district
Navsari district experienced torrential rains from July 7 to 15. Due to torrential rains in the upper reaches including Navsari, Cauvery, Ambika and Purna rivers of the district were flooded. So many villages on the banks of the river and low-lying areas of the cities have been desolated. Many roads, pools and houses were damaged due to rushing flood water. At that time, a team of four members including Sanjiv Sehgal, Joint Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Home of Disaster Management of the Ministry of Home Affairs, inspected the situation again in the flood-affected areas of Navsari district for two days with the local authorities.

While the central team was to visit the flood affected area of Navsari city today. But instead of the flood affected area, the CO shifted them to areas where there was no flood situation. Because of this, the team could not reach Dussehra Hill, Bhensatkhada, Gadhewan Mohllo, Shantadevi Road, where there was flood situation in the city. Later, the team returned after visiting the city’s main filtration plant.
