Flood havoc leaves loss of Rs. 1000 crores

Chief Minister will request the PM for funds

On the eve of the visit of the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Friday, the Chief Minister Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy said that the estimated loss due to floods is more than Rs.1000 crores and would urge him to allocate more funds to the State. Speaking to the media persons that the actual loss can be estimated only after the flood water recedes completely.

Even after five days, the flood situation did not show any signs of letting up and most of the villages in VR Puram, Chintur and Kunavaram mandals continued to remain submerged. A fresh rise in water levels at Bhadrachalam is being received with trepidation in the already marooned villages.

Viral fevers and other communicable diseases are stalking most of the villages and at the relief camps. Special officer for flood relief in Khammam SK Sinha and ITDA Project Officer Buddhaprakash Jyothi visited several interior areas and relief camps in Bhadrachalam sub-division and found several people suffering with fever. The officials distributed medicines, drinking water and other relief material to the people of remote villages. The Revenue department has supplied 18 kg of rice and kerosene to the flood victims.
