Must read

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu visited flood-affected areas in Vijayawada for the ninth consecutive day on Monday. After conferring with senior officials at the Collectorate regarding the flood situation, the CM proceeded to inspect ongoing drain cleaning efforts, travelling from Bhavanipuram to Urmila Nagar via Sitara Centre.
During his visit, the CM engaged with local women at the Kabela centre, where they expressed their losses due to the flood and requested employment opportunities. The CM assured them of support and pledged to implement measures to create jobs.
He also visited the YSR flyover and assessed the situation there, before proceeding to Mango Market, Singh Nagar, Milk Project, Chitti Nagar, and Errakatta. At the Singh Nagar flyover, he spoke with affected residents and reviewed the relief measures provided by the government.
Later, the CM announced that efforts would be made to raise awareness about the Urban App. He promised to provide clothing from Apco and other companies to those who have lost everything and to support flood victims in every possible way. The CM condemned the previous government’s actions, stating that their encroachments on the canal had obstructed the flow of water from Budameru Canal to Kolleru Lake, turning heavy rains and the ensuing disaster into a curse for the people.
The CM also questioned how large boats belonging to YSRCP leaders ended up in the river during the flood and why they were not properly anchored. He accused the YSRCP of disseminating false propaganda against the government daily while emphasising that the government remains focused on addressing the needs of the seven lakh flood victims.
