Reports say that the letter was sent to the E-in-C of the General Head Quarters (GHQ) because of the growing number of flooding incidents in the city. The CDA has also asked the authority to put together a report with suggestions for how to deal with the causes and effects of flooding in cities. Also, the CDA has asked the power to devise a plan for managing rain during the height of the monsoon season to limit the damage caused by clouds bursting. After the report is turned in, the CDA engineering department will use the suggestions to better manage the town’s infrastructure and build it up based on the most recent information and survey.
