Ga chiefs and elders, bow your head down in shame. Have we seen the disgrace we’re causing the capital

When people who are paid to work don't do their work, we are only left with reasonable explanations of the consequences of their actions. Someone could have prevented this but...

This should be the work of our town's planning people to go around communities to check and make sure illegal structures are not erected at unapproved places.

I like the last words of the rasta man, "you cannot bribe the water". Let's face the consequences of our actions. All authorities involved in granting building permits to the owner must be arrested and prosecuted. #Controlthefloods

Following the demolition of unauthorised structures around the Tesa Dam at East Legon, the Flood Mitigation Task Force started dredging the Tesa Dam, which serves as a retention basin for floodwaters. The exercise involves removing heavy silt deposits to restore the dam's storage capacity and improve the free flow of water, with the aim of reducing flood risk along the Motorway, East Legon, and surrounding communities. #JoyNews

The flood sirens have gone off in the Upper Valley this afternoon due to a combination of heavy rain and snow melt. I have spoken to the Environment Agency and Calderdale Council. Current predictions suggest it is likely to get worse until about 3:30 – 4:00pm and then ease. This is being monitored and I'll update as the day progresses. There is surface water flooding on Halifax Road at Eastwood where a crew are working to unblock drains, surface water flooding at Callis where the road is closed, and a flood warning in Walsden. Other areas including Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, and Todmorden are under flood alerts and teams are out clearing drains. Please avoid travelling to these areas. Residents should put up flood defences if possible. You can get flooding updates on or the Environment Agency website. Flood wardens also update on a number of local Facebook pages including Todmorden Flood Group and Hebden Bridge Flood Action Group. We are at the frontline of climate shocks here in Calder Valley. Rest assured I will continue to raise the issues we face with flooding at the highest levels of government.

Hundreds are missing, and many are feared dead after a massive flash flood hit the Nepal-China border on Wednesday. A wall of water obliterated infrastructure, sweeping hundreds of people away. A glacial lake outburst above the Bhotekoshi River may have caused the flooding and destruction, Shailendra Thapa, a spokesman for the Armed Police Force, said, but AccuWeather meteorologists pinpoint an earthquake in the area as the root cause.

Flooding issue resolved in 70% of the identified areas of Bengaluru, remaining to be fixed soon. We had identified 210 areas as flood prone in Bengaluru. Ever since I took over as the Bengaluru Development Minister, we have fixed flooding issues in 166 (70%) of those localities. Flood prevention work is currently going on in 24 areas while work would soon be taken up in the remaining 20 areas. We have built 197 km of storm water drains. Traffic police have identified 132 spots which are flooded during heavy rains. Of these, we have rectified issues in 82 spots and 41 spots are yet to be fixed. We are spending Rs 2000 crore for storm water drains. Rain is controlled by nature while we can only try to control the controllables. We are rectifying flood-prone areas and are trying to help the common people. Quantum of rainfall has been very high in Silk Board junction, Hebbal and Yelahanka area. Underpass works are underway in a couple of places in these areas and they have been flooded. We will work with those departments to resolve these issues. - My statements to the media during the press meet at the BBMP War Room earlier today. #BengaluruRains
