“Since there will no high tide in the city before evening 8pm as per disaster management report, therefore there won’t be a water-logging situation” he said. “The high tide came at 8:30 in the morning and the next will be again at 8:30 pm”.

On the other hand opposition “Opposition must not politicise the issue and create a panic situation over rains”.
