BARAMULLA: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Baramulla, Minga Sherpa, along with a team of officers, today conducted a comprehensive field visit to Warapora, Mahrajpora, Haritaar, and adjoining areas of sub-division Sopore to inspect bunds along the River Jhelum and Wular Lake, besides assessing water-logged locations.

During the visit, DC assured that the situation is under control with no alarming concerns. He informed that while some waterlogging has been reported in parts of Warapora due to rise of water levels in Wular lake, residential areas, including Haritaar, remain completely safe.

DC further informed that at locations where embankments were found to be weak, the administration has promptly initiated strengthening measures through the concerned departments to ensure adequate protection of the habitations.

Meanwhile, Minga Sherpa urged people not to panic and assured that the district administration is closely monitoring the situation, with all necessary measures in place to respond swiftly to address any eventuality.

Importantly, DC reassured the public that all roads, power supply, and other essential services remain intact and are functioning smoothly across the district without any disruption.
