He said, “We have inspected all the houses (buildings) in the area and advised our people to evacuate the areas in order to prevent another disaster.
“The state government would try its best in terms of bringing relief to the affected victims soon.
“I noticed that some persons built houses along the river course and water ways but we shall ensure that no matter highly placed they are, we will demolish those buildings.
“This would make us have free flow of water and we shall be deploying the amphibious excavator to help channel these waterways.”
