The Hindu Business Line : Andhra CM to undertake aerial survey of flood-hit areas

HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Mr K Rosaiah will undertake an aerial survey of flood-affected districts in the state on Sunday, official sources said here.

Mr Rosaiah will visit the worst-affected Kurnool apart from Mahaboonagar and Krishna districts, they said. The Chief Minister, who held discussion at the Secretariat here with his ministerial colleagues on the relief measures in the flood-hit areas, told reporters that the water-level in Kurnool town and some parts of Mahaboobnaar district was receding.

“Flood situation in Kurnool town and some parts of Mahabubnagar district was improving in view of gradual reduction in inflow of water from dams in Karnataka,” he said. He said so far 37 people had lost their lives due to the floods and the figure was li kely to go up.

The Chief Minister will be accompanied by Revenue Minister Mr D Prasada Rao during his tour to the flood-hit areas. “First we will tour Vijayawada town in Krishna district and if weather permits, we will also take up aerial survey of Kurnool and Mahabubn agar districts,” Mr Rosaiah said after a meeting with his ministerial colleagues.

“If weather permits, we will also hold discussion with district authorities either at Vijayawada or Kurnool,” he added. - PTI
