On Sunday, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah reached out to the Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to discuss the current situation in their states. The heavy rains and floods have caused chaos and distress, and the Home Minister wanted to ensure that the affected regions receive all the necessary support from the Central government.
During the call, Mr. Shah reassured the two Chief Ministers, N Chandrababu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh and A Revanth Reddy of Telangana, that the government is ready to extend any possible assistance to help them deal with the aftermath of the natural calamity. The heavy downpour has not subsided, and many parts of Telangana, including Hyderabad, continue to face the wrath of the relentless rains.
In light of the dire situation, Chief Minister Reddy held an emergency meeting with his team of ministers, officials, and public representatives to assess the damage and take immediate action. Meanwhile, in Andhra Pradesh, the unprecedented rainfall over the last couple of days has severely disrupted daily life, especially in Vijayawada and its surrounding areas. The state authorities have evacuated about 17,000 affected individuals to safer locations.
Sources reveal that the Union Home Minister spoke to both the Chief Ministers and took stock of the situation, keeping in mind the heavy rains and floods in both states. He assured them of the government's full support and assistance to mitigate the impact of the disaster.
Tragically, a woman lost her life in Mahabubabad, and three others are feared to have been swept away in Khammam districts of Telangana due to the heavy rains. The South Central Railway has reported waterlogging on several tracks, leading to the cancellation, partial cancellation, and diversion of almost 100 trains.
Union Minister of State for Home, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, took to 'X' to inform the public about the severe situation in Khammam, Telangana. Upon receiving the news, the Home Minister immediately directed the dispatch of nine National Disaster Response Force teams to aid the state.
As the affected states continue to battle the aftermath of these devastating rains and floods, the Central government is committed to providing all the necessary support and assistance to help the people overcome this challenging situation.
