Haryana Transport Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday said that the Ambala Cantonment administration has been placed on high alert following increased water flow in the Tangri river.
The State Disaster Response Force has been called in, and direction has been issued to the Deputy Commissioner for coordinating with the Army to remain on standby.
Responding to media queries regarding heavy rainfall, waterlogging and drainage in Ambala, Minister Vij said that senior officials, including the SDM of the cantonment and the Executive Officer of the Municipal Council, have been inspecting vulnerable areas.
