RSD- Sircilla news: In times of disaster, if you call Dial 100 or the nearest police station for help, immediate relief measures will be taken. In view of the heavy rains, the people of the district should be alert and not come out unless it is urgent. The district police machinery has been alerted as there is a possibility of heavy rains, the district SP Mahesh B. Gite said in a statement on 16.08.2025. The police machinery and the DRF team are continuously available to the people. If anyone is in danger, they can immediately call the local police officers or Dial 100 and get help from the police, and they are requested to cooperate by following their instructions. The police department is taking appropriate precautions to ensure that the people of the district do not face any danger. The people are requested to cooperate with the police by following their instructions and advice. No one should go near streams, canals, rivers, reservoirs and ponds due to the possibility of heavy flow. Fishermen and people should not go fishing near reservoirs, ponds, streams and projects. Farmers should be careful near electric motors in the fields, and do not touch electric poles or wires with their hands when it rains. Do not stay under trees, damaged buildings or in buildings that are in a dilapidated condition. In coordination with the local revenue, irrigation, panchayat, electricity, R&B, and medical department officials, wherever roads are cut off due to floodwaters or if the water is flowing heavily, plastic cones, barricades, and warning flexes will be installed in both directions to prevent the people of that village from going there. Police officers and staff will take all precautionary measures by getting advance information about the flow of water near ponds and ditches within the jurisdiction of each police station, and near streams and bends flowing on main roads, he said. There is a risk of ponds and ditches filling up with flood water and breaking the pond embankments. Therefore, people can be alert. Motorists should travel carefully while traveling. Roads can be washed away by rain, forming potholes and water accumulating in them, making them invisible to motorists, posing a risk of accidents and loss of life. Therefore, drive carefully and slowly. It is advised not to venture into culverts and small bridges during the rains when water is flowing.
