Heavy rains in Telangana have caused huge damage due to floods. The damage is extensive in Khammam, Mahabubabad, Suryapet and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts. Many poor people have become homeless. There was loss of life along with massive loss of property.
Many people are coming forward with their best to support the victims who have been severely affected by the floods. Donations continue to pour from politicians to film personalities, as well as industrialists.
The ruling Congress party leaders also came forward to contribute to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Responding to the suggestion given by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and new TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud, all the Congress MLAs, MLCs and MPs of the party decided to contribute two months of their salaries.
Along with them, all the Chairmans of various Corporations and Government Advisors also will contribute their two months salaries. It is noteworthy that this is double the assistance announced by BRS leaders. MLAs, MPs and MLCs of the BRS party have already announced that they are donating their one month salary.
Meanwhile, the Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association is also helping the flood victims by providing kits with essential commodities to the victims. They have already sent 10,000 kits of essential commodities to Khamma, which was worst affected by floods. They said that the value of each kit will be Rs 3,000. Ministers Sridhar Babu and Tummala Nageswara Rao have flagged off their relief materials.
On the other hand, relief efforts are continuing. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, Ministers Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy and Tummala Nageswara Rao are staying in the flood affected areas directly monitoring flood-relief measures, by cancelling their review meeting and other official assignments in Hyderabad.
While the areas affected by previous floods are slowly recovering, now again they are scared as the weather forecast warns again heavy rains may hit the state. In the wake of warnings of rains again, the state government and authorities are alerted and taking precautionary measures to avoid any trouble to the people in the flood affected areas.
