A team of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) leaders led by Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka met Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan at the Raj Bhavan on Tuesday and briefed her on the losses and suffering caused by heavy rains across the State.
The delegation included AICC Secretary and Manthani MLA Sridhar Babu, Congress working presidents Mahesh Kumar Goud and Anjan Kumar Yadav, former Minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah, and PCC senior vice president Mallu Ravi. They requested the Governor to see that the flood victims get compensation from the government.
“We have briefed the Governor about the loss of life, crops and property due to floods caused by heavy rains in the State and presented details of the same. The government has utterly failed to take precautionary measures to protect people from this natural disaster. Even though the officials of the Meteorological Department had issued warnings of heavy rains, the State government machinery was aloof and did not conduct appropriate reviews on time,” said Mr. Vikramarka adding that the government had shown negligence in not releasing funds for the annual maintenance of major, medium and minor irrigation projects resulted in flooding causing immeasurable suffering to the people.
