Flood relief works in Ernakulam will remain unaffected by the day-long hartal organised by various political parties, District Collector K. Mohammed Y. Safirulla has said.
The Collector has also directed all government officers involved in relief activities to be present on duty and warned of stern action against those obstructing the officials or vehicles on relief duty. The police have also made arrangements to ensure the smooth operation of vehicles on relief duty, especially in flood-affected areas.
