According to Mehr reporter, Nusrat Barzegar, referring to the recent heavy rains recorded in Ramyan city, said in a conversation with reporters: despite the record low rainfall of 145 mm, pre-emptive measures in the field of dredging the high-risk areas caused the amount of damage to be minimized, however, 9 villages of the city faced damages that have been repaired.

He added: During the past month, with the coordination and synergy of the road, water, electricity, municipalities, village councils and using the power of the private sector, high-risk and accident-prone areas were dredged. These preventive measures prevented widespread damage.
