Her statement came after chairing the apex committee on flood control at the Delhi Secretariat, where the Flood Control Order 2025 was officially issued. "Delhi is fully prepared for any situation. Last year's flood was catastrophic because the previous governments neglected this issue and didn't even convene this committee.
