Govt urges people to exercise caution near water bodies

Saturday, 27 July 2024 | Staff Reporter | RAIPUR

Amid incessant rains, authorities in Chhattisgarh on Friday urged people to be cautious and not to endanger their lives while near water bodies.

The advisory urges people to take precautions while crossing rivers and old bridges.

Pictures and videos have surfaced on social media of people crossing flooded rivers and streams risking their lives. Youths and children are seen playing in rivers and streams.

Water levels in rivers, drains, dams, culverts and near old bridges have risen sharply due to heavy rainfall.

People near flood-prone areas have been told to follow warnings about waterlogging, be prepared to relocate to higher grounds, not to drive on submerged roads and cooperate with the authorities.
