Kurnool, Oct 12th: The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah on Monday said efforts were being made to restore normalcy in Kurnool district which was badly affected by the recent flash floods. Addressing a press conference here after visiting Nandyal town which was hit by the floods in the district, he said the government would arrange Rs 50,000 loan under 'Pavala Vaddi' scheme at 25 paise interest for the small traders. He went around the areas submerged in flood waters and met those affected. The Chief Minister promised to render all possible help.
He denied the claim by opposition leader N Chandrababu Naidu that the Central Water Commission had warned the state government about the flood threat in Krishna River. However, the Chief Minister faced the wrath of flood victims for the second day during his visit to the worst-hit areas. The victims tried to stop his motorcade in Kurnool town by raising slogans. The victims alleged that relief was yet to reach them. They also insisted that the Chief Minister must also see their damaged houses in the interior areas.
