NHAI initiates flood plan after IMD forecast

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has activated a comprehensive flood plan in response to the Indian Meteorological Department's forecast of above-normal monsoon rainfall in July and August. This proactive strategy aims to safeguard lives and property while ensuring minimal disruption to travel and infrastructure.

A senior government official shared with the source that the plan involves identifying vulnerable locations, establishing alternate diversion routes, and deploying emergency response teams at critical points. Vulnerable slopes and tunnels will be monitored in real time to prevent accidents and ensure safety.

To minimise inconvenience and damage, NHAI is collaborating with district administrations to develop alternative travel routes and mobilise resources. This includes shifting necessary equipment from less flood-prone areas to regions at higher risk of flooding and landslides. Additionally, NHAI is working with local authorities in both hilly and plain regions to prepare for potential disasters.

Joint inspections with the irrigation department are also being conducted to prevent waterlogging on national highways, further ensuring that the infrastructure remains functional during heavy rainfall. The multi-pronged approach reflects NHAI's commitment to disaster preparedness and effective response amid the forecasted monsoon conditions. (Source:ET)
