The Fire Department has been actively clearing fallen trees and waterlogging at multiple locations and has carried out rescue operations in slum and low-lying areas, transporting people to safer places.
Speaking to The Free Press Journal, a Fire Department official reported that at least 400 rescue operations have been carried out. The team has cleared 18 waterlogging spots and removed 65 fallen trees from PMC areas.
