“Moobility has been impacted due to ditches in roads that have partially been washed away at several places. Therefore, the first priority of the concerned departments and agencies should be to restore power and ensure availability of drinking water, even if it entails deployment of water tankers,” he said, hoping that the administration will rise to the occasion and come to rescue of suffering residents.
