Before coming to Calcutta, Gu Ji had already explained the severity of this disaster to Lanate, who then communicated with the Chief Minister of West Bengal over the phone, as the traffic in Calcutta city was already poor, and the heavy rain made it even more congested.
Therefore, to save travel time, the Chief Minister gathered all the high-ranking officials of the state government to wait at Bose International Airport.
They planned to hold the emergency response meeting directly on the airport runway.
"Vidi, there's news from the Farakka Dam, the villagers gathered near the site have all been successfully evacuated by the anti-explosion unit, and they are now checking the riverbank areas for any left-behind people."
"Good, have them speed up the inspection and leave the vicinity of the Hugli River as soon as possible."
