Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan attributes Vijayawada floods to encroachment of Budameru rivulet

The Hindu  

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Panchayat Raj & Rural Development and Environment and Forests K. Pawan Kalyan has attributed the unprecedented floods in Vijayawada city to the shrinking of the Budameru rivulet by 90% due to a large number of illegal constructions. Mr. Pawan Kalyan said the encroachments had taken place over several years, and that the government would duly look into prevention, instead of groping in the dark after something happened. Mr. Pawan Kalyan insisted that the Annamayya dam breach was due to the YSRCP Government’s negligence, whereas the floods that brought great misery to Vijayawada city now were clearly because of record-breaking rain. Massive donation Further, the Deputy Chief Minister said he was donating ₹1 lakh each to the 400 flood-hit Gram Panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, in addition to ₹1 crore already announced on September 3, besides making a contribution of ₹1 crore to the flood relief works in Telangana.
