Disaster management centre opened

The district administration opened a disaster management centre at the

became functional at the centre. Village disaster management
committees have been formed in 23 fishing villages spread across 11
panchayats in three taluks in the coastal region of the district. Task
forces will be formed soon by training volunteers in various areas of
disaster management. Advanced disaster alert systems will be set up in
seven coastal villages and the district headquarters. The control room
