The Kultali block was the worst hit by Cyclone Amphan in Baruipur subdivision. Being a coastal area of the river, there was a lot of damage in Kultali block. The villages were without electricity for about 10 to 15 days. Thousands of people in the area adjacent to the river embankment were housed in a flood center or a high school cyclone center. Preparations to deal with the cyclone Yash using the experience of the last Amfan storm in the Corona situation started from today’s meeting.

After the meeting, both the BDO of Kultali and the MLA visited the weak embankment area. Last year, a strong storm in Amfan broke the dam in the area around Haldar of Maipit Coastal Police Station. Last month, Kotal’s tidal wave broke the spider river dam. 100 days workers have been employed to repair that dam.

Besides inspecting the river dam by launch, MLA Ganesh Chandra Mandal gave a message to the people of Kultali not to panic. The MLA has already given his phone number in the area. If there is any problem, the MLA can be called directly. Two helplines have already been set up to deal with Covid. Even if you call that helpline, all kinds of help are assured.
