<h1>Chief minister blames river dredging failures and power utility lapses after flooding, electrocutions; orders closures and victim support</h1> The chief minister attributed widespread urban flooding and seven electrocution deaths to inadequate river dredging and alleged lapses by the municipal power utility, urged residents and private-sector workers to stay home, and directed schools to close. She announced coordination with municipal and state officials, warned of further flooding due to high river tides, and demanded remedial action and employee support from the utility, including jobs for victims' families. The statement raises potential administrative accountability claims against the utility and possible scrutiny of state flood management, emergency response, and intergovernmental funding allocations.
