Recording various materials placed before the Madras
High Court by the Central and the State governments to show that there
was no lack of coordination in the flood relief work as alleged, the
First Bench of the court said, “We are of the view that it must be
ensured that the funds which are specifically coming for this purpose
are utilised to rehabilitate the affected persons.”
Responding to a
suo motu
proceeding initiated by the Madras High Court directing the State
government to inform the court about the coordination taking place in
respect of the relief measures in flood-affected areas, the government
on Wednesday filed a detailed reply enunciating how it coordinated the
relief work with other agencies.
Explaining the works
, the State’s Revenue Secretary, R. Venkatesan, said, “As part of the
pre-monsoon preparedness, senior IAS officers were designated as
monitoring officers for each district and the officers were already in
their designated stations on receipt of the weather forecast from the
Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).”
