Shower of good news: Rain info every 15 min

The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) has set up rain gauges at 10
locations under BBMP limits, which will provide rain-related information every 15 minutes, helping
oicials take precautions

Over the last two days, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike came under criticism on social
media over flooded roads and clogged drains, especially the water-logged Kadugodi underpass.

On Saturday, BBMP Commissioner N Manjunath Prasad held a meeting with oicials on rain
preparations and enquired about the issues that have cropped up in the last three days due to rain.
KSNDMC oicials said gauges will give immediate information on rain. “We will also get alerts from
sensors installed in 25 stormwater drains to measure water flow. Based on information from rain
gauges and sensors, we will be able to take precautionary measures and issue warnings to the
public to prevent any untoward incident,” the commissioner said. 63 control rooms

There are nine permanent control rooms in the city. In addition to this, 63 new control rooms will
come up in sub-divisions of each zone, where staffers will respond to complaints and immediate measures will be taken during emergencies.

The commissioner asked officials to invite short-term tenders for appointing sta and for
procuring machines and tools necessary for emergency relief in the 63 control rooms. He also
instructed officials to increase the number of teams clearing fallen trees and branches from 21 to
28. Officials in charge of SWD said a silt-removing machine, two trucks to carry the silt and 156 staffers have been put on standby.

“Set up teams to monitor the flow of rainwater on main roads and crossroads in every zone.
Immediate measures should be taken up to fill potholes on all roads. Ensure that there are no
casualties and no property is damaged during the rain,” Manjunath Prasad told officials of Road
and Infrastructure wing of the BBMP.

The commissioner also asked officials to create awareness on the ‘Sidilu’ app developed by the KSNDMC. He suggested that workshops be conducted to spread information among the public.
