Mysuru: Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is fully geared up to meet with any eventualities arising out of heavy rains during monsoon season. Three Abhaya teams have been set up to face the situation arising out of natural calamities. These teams are working round the clock and whenever trees fall due to storm and heavy winds, the trees are being cleared.

Likewise when the rains enter homes in low-lying areas, the MCC staff use sucking machines and other equipment to drain the water. Also, all the storm water drains and L/U shaped drainages are being cleaned with extra staff being deployed.

If the underground drainage gets clogged and the sewage water enters homes, in a special drive, manholes are being de-silted. There are 12 jetting machines, nine de-silting machines and 23 Tata Ace vehicles being used for cleaning underground drainages. Besides, two separate teams have been deployed for this work.

All the staff and the officials in MCC have been given wireless sets so that they can be in constant touch and respond to any urgent messages.

The people of the city if they face any kind of problems due to heavy rains, be it water logging, trees falling and other issues, they can immediately contact the MCC Control Room and lodge complaints.
