Pune: Deputy Minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar on Friday said that housing structures in flood-prone areas must be built in such a way that they allow the flow of free flood water in the field, which will avoid damage.
He spoke after exploring the first experiment from Pune Metro Rail on the Vanz-Ramwadi route.
Speaking of the flood situation last week in the District of Conkan Ratnagiri and Raigad and Kolhapur and Sangli District from Maharashtra Barat, said Pawar, “cities such as Mahad (Raigad), Chiplun (Ratnagiri) face a flood situation.
If this flood area witnessed reaching up to levels 10 feet, then we will suggest that housing structures must be appointed with columns until the height.
“” This must be done in such a way that flood water flows smoothly under such a structure without any limit …
This method of development can be adopted in the area – this area, “he said.
Pawar also shared examples of China and Germany, where the flood caused great damage, and said, “We need to take precautions to overcome such natural disasters.” He added that the Government of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in this country took steps to avoid damage due to disaster like that in the future.
Sharing the progress of the Pune Metro Rail project, Deputy CM said the Vanz-Ramwadi route will start functioning on June 2022.
