Government agencies have been working diligently to clear waterlogged areas and restore drivable roads before the start of the new week. However, the receding waters have left behind heaps of silt, unpleasant odors, and a potential risk of infection. Moreover, the lack of access to drinking water and food has emerged as a new threat for residents returning to their homes.
