The Minister, along with officials, visited the Hussain Sagar lake in the city that was to the brim following heavy rainfall, a GHMC release said. Yadav said 428 monsoon emergency teams have been working round the clock to ensure that people don't face any inconvenience.
The release quoted him as saying that people did not face any problems as the emergency teams, police and Disaster Response Force (DRF) personnel worked in coordination.
GHMC Mayor Vijaya Lakshmi R Gadwal visited the control room and enquired about the complaints received from the affected citizens. She instructed GHMC Commissioner Ronald Rose to take up special measures for sanitation upkeep in view of the rains in the city.
