During the meeting the Drainage and Sewerage Department reported its plan how to dredge canals and sewers in the capital to cope with possible floodwaters from upstream provinces, Sukhumbhand said.
He said the department initially expected that dredging would be done in June, July or August but he instructed the department to speed up the works.
The department was also instructed to coordinate the works with Army.
