As the number of COVID-19 cases are increasing on one hand, flash floods in Belagavi, Mangaluru cause a different kind of havoc. Asianet Newsable reached out to Urban Development minister Byrathi Basavaraj to share his thoughts on the situation.
He said the government will conduct an aerial survey in flood-hit areas and submit a report to the Central government for the release of financial assistance to Karnataka.
From clearing stormwater drains and waterlogged areas to the drug menace in Pulakeshinagar, the minister is confident that action will be taken.
