- We will evacuate people in low-lying areas around Yamuna once the river breaches the 206 metre mark.
- An inquiry has been ordered into three incidents of road cave-in across Delhi.
- This is not the time to point fingers at each other. The governments of all affected states need to work together to provide relief to the public.
- Potholes on roads to be filled with stones to avert untoward incidents. We have asked NDMC to resolve waterlogging issues. The area under New Delhi Municipal Council, which is a VVIP area, witnessed waterlogging. We have asked them (NDMC) to resolve the issues.
