Yogi Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh chief minister
“Proper arrangements should be made to drain rainwater from the villages that remain outside the embankment. After the embankment is constructed, if the river level rises, water inside should not accumulate and cause diseases; instead, it should be pumped out using pumping sets. The Irrigation Department should prepare a proposal for these works and initiate them at the earliest, so that this tragedy can be prevented in the future and the severity of floods can be brought under control.”

“Saving every person's life is important for us. During the rainy season, when water accumulates, the risk of snake, scorpion, and other bites increases; therefore, arrangements for anti-snake venom have been made at every health center. Anti-rabies injections are also available. Instructions have been given to provide assistance of four lakh to the family in case of loss of life due to drowning or lightning.”
