Terming the Godavari floods as a ‘man-made disaster’, CPI Andhra Pradesh unit secretary K. Ramakrishna has blamed the Central and the State governments, saying that the situation could have been avoided, if the rehabilitation and resettlement (R& R) package for the Polavaram project was implemented in time.
“The delay in implementation of the R&R package accentuated the problems of the people living in marooned Godavari Delta. The Centre and State governments are responsible for the plights of more than two lakh people who are enduring flood situation,” Mr. Ramakrishna told the media here on Sunday.
