KCR rolls out Rs 1000 crore relief plan to protect Bhadrachalam

Deccan Chronicle  

Bhadrachalam: Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao on Sunday said that the government will sanction Rs 1,000 crore to devise a permanent solution to end inundation of Bhadrachalam and Pinapaka Assembly segments during heavy rains. To ensure a permanent fix, Rao said the government will involve irrigation experts, central water commission engineers and professionals from IIT to devise solutions by assessing and tracking rain and flood records over the past. Rao said that the project will fulfil the aim of a ‘flood-free Bhadrachalam in future.’ Rao also announced that new houses would be built for families living in low-lying areas of Bhadrachalam, as their houses get repeatedly inundated every monsoon. Thousands of people residing in low-lying areas were evacuated to relief camps while isolated incidents of chopper rescue were also undertaken, including at the Bhadrachalam temple.
