RURAL Development and Local Government Minister Khadijah Ameen says while government is pleased with its flood response thus far, the country is not out of danger as further flooding is possible.

Speaking at a post-cabinet media conference on June 12 at the Red House, she said government was taking an inter-ministerial approach to assisting the affected population through its flood-mitigation programme.

“We have seen a reduced impact of flooding on homes and infrastructure as a result of early and proactive collaboration between the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries.”
