Convene assembly session to discuss flood relief
Press Release
Tuni, Nov 7, 2012: YSR Congress Party honourary president Smt. Y.S. Vijayamma assured the flood victims today that the party will take up their cause in the next assembly session and strive to ensure that proper compensation is paid to them.
Vijayamma demanded the Government to convene the assembly session immediately to discuss the floods and relief measures.
Continuing her tour of the flood-hit areas in the state for the third day on Wednesday, Vijayamma has visited submerged colonies and crops in Ammaji Peta, Kankipati Vari Daruvu, Rajiv Gruhakalpa and Kummarilova areas of East Godavari district and inspected the inundated crops and residential colonies. She later addressed flood victims at several locations in and around Tuni.
Vijayamma said YSRCP would write to Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar with the details of the crop and property loss and seeking compensation to the flood-victims.
After visiting the flood-ravaged locations and talking to the victims on their problems, Vijayamma slammed the Government for not initiating relief measures even after four days of the natural calamity.
Flood victims complained to Vijayamma that neither the local MP nor the MLA has visited them despite the seriousness of the flood situation. “Police beat us and drove us away when we went to meet the CM Kiran Kumar Reddy during his tour,” they told her.
On the instructions of Vijayamma, YSRCP rank and file brought blankets and distributed them to the flood victims at Kummarilova. Vijayamma later left for Payakarao Pet of Visakhapatnam district.
