Municipal Commissioner J. Nivas on Tuesday visited the residential areas along the hillside at Gangireddula Dibba and cautioned the local residents on the possibility of landslips due to torrential rains occurring for the last couple of days. On receiving information that a landslip occurred from a soaked hill at Gangireddula Dibba, the VMC chief along with the engineers and other staff rushed to the area and enquired about the safety of the residents. As there was rainfall prediction for the next two days, there is a possibility of boulders slipping from the hill, the locals told Mr. Nivas.
The Commissioner directed officials to take steps to evacuate the residents, if necessary. He also directed the corporation officials to visit the hillside localities and take precautionary measures.
