    Please grant the DC the wisdom for the decisions he takes. He is at the centre of all information flowing from various agencies. Additionally,prevention is better than cure when it comes to dealing with matters related to nature. One doesn't need to experience debacles to realise his decisions. Well done DC.

    Some institutions such as St Joseph's Engineering College are repeatedly ignoring instructions of DC and putting the lives of wards at risk. It is not good to ignore the directives of DC when holiday is declared to avoid students falling into risky situations.

    D.C and his team is educated and they knows their duty. They analyze satellite pictures and data collected from different sources. Giving Instruction to People and school is a precautionary method to avoid any complications may arise due to heavy rain. Kindly doesn't take his advise as a joke. God save us from all this Nature disaster.

    School Children can cover their syllabus in October Holidays or having extra classes on Sunday after rainy season. If any child loose his life due to heavy rain it would be loss to the family.

    safey is first.....
