Fight with Natural Calamity

Posted by Chandrakant Dada Patil on August 27th, 2019

Incessant rains in Maharashtra resulted in flood situations in many districts. Heavy rainfall has forced the release of dam water into rivers increasing the water level and possibility of flood in adjoining areas. The rising water levels in the Pune area triggered the closing of 30 bridges in Pune and PCMC area. Flood situation in Kolhapur and Sangli districts is also terrifying. Panchaganga and Krishna rivers are overflowing causing flood in Kolhapur and Sangli low-lying areas. In this situation, Guardian Minister of Pune and Kolhapur district, Honourable Mr Chandrakant Dada Patil has appealed people to co-operate with the administration to control the condition. 

The Revenue Minister Shri Chandrakant Dada Patil has posted one video on his Twitter handle. In this video, he has urged people to cooperate in this helpless flood condition. He has also assured that the administration is vigilant and active enough to overcome the situation through various means. Mr Patil also informed that NDRF teams are working commendably to rescue the trapped people. Moreover, helicopters and other mechanisms such as boats are being used to rescue the flood-affected people. On the other hand, people are not cooperating in exceptional cases due to their materialistic approach. Mr Patil has requested people to cooperate with the administration for flood relief and rescue works. 

Mr Chandrakant Patil has also informed that administration is well co-coordinating further necessities such as the release of dam water in corresponding rivers. This might increase water levels in the cities and villages located on the river bank. But the administration will need to take the necessary steps in order to avoid the risk of a dam wall collapse.  Shri Chandrakant Patil has also requested all political party workers including Shiv Sena and BJP to be proactive and capable in providing necessary facilities to the rescued and affected people at rescue centres. He has also appealed to social organizations to help needy people. 1077 is the emergency helpline number provided by the Government for any urgent help. People can contact on this number in any threatening and emergency condition. 

Finally, Shri Patil has conveyed an important message that stopping incessant rainfall is not in anybody’s hands, but Government, army and social organizations can endeavour to improve the situation in flood-affected areas with the cooperation of the masses.  

Being Guardian Minister of Pune district, Mr Patil has also visited flood-affected families in Lonavala and the vicinity areas. He also has supported rescued people at Pimple-Nilakh by visiting them at corporation school and promising them about the Government’s stand and support. He also has visited the flood-affected people from Sangvi area and requested officers to take care of these people. 

Guardian Minister has well conveyed the necessary instruction through the Twitter video. This message is promising for the people who are badly affected due to the incessant rainfall.  Mr Patil has also instructed authorities, administration regarding necessary provisions. Revenue Minister Mr Chandrakant Dada Patil’s stand and approach during this natural calamity are really appreciable and strong. His concluding statement saying that ‘rainfall control is not in hand, but the situation can be controlled’ reflects his matured and experienced thought process. His personal meetings with the flood-affected people are very poignant for the people who have been impacted by these devastating floods. Guardian Minister has put great efforts to handle this tough situation. Optimistically, this systematic approach and strategies would get the success in overcoming the flood condition in the state.
