CM assured safety to the houses and said that even the most interior of the villages would be covered and steps taken to ensure unscrupulous elements were kept out.
He said arrangements had been made to provide hot water facility at all relief camps. The process of constructing temporary shelters using aluminium sheets had commenced and would be completed in a week. The chief minister said power supply had been restored in most parts of Kodagu. Civic workers from Bengaluru and Mysuru had pumped water out of low-lying areas, Kumaraswamy said.
