Three days back, a meeting was held by the corporation, led by corporation commissioner J Kumaragurubaran, along with volunteers, to discuss preparations for the monsoon. The meeting discussed gaps in responding to public issues during previous floods and solutions for them. It also included presenting the corporation's flood mitigation plans and management system to allow volunteers know how the system operates.
