Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Saturday chaired a review meeting with the Deputy Commissioners on the monsoon situation across the state.
Continuous rain has caused landslides and localised flooding in parts of the Garo Hills and Khasi Hills.
“I have directed the administration to remain on high alert as rain is forecast to continue, to work in close coordination with the block-level response teams and the line departments, to restore affected road connectivity on priority, and to ensure relief reaches every affected family without delay,” he said.
Sangma said that due to the alertness and hard work of field teams, no life has been lost in the current spell, and he was grateful to every officer and worker responding on the ground.
“I appeal to all citizens to stay safe: please avoid landslide-prone stretches and flooded streams, and follow official advisories. We are monitoring the situation closely and stand with our people,” the Chief Minister said.
