Summary:
KOLHAPUR: After studying areas inundated during floods every year, the state water resources department has decided to expand the flood line adding more areas. This aggravates the flooding situation.In May this year, the state government issued directives to the water resources department asking it to revisit the flood lines and make changes as per changed circumstances.

The survey has been completed and will soon be submitted to the state government.The existing flood lines were demarcated after the floods of 1989..
