IAS officer Katamneni Bhaskar, who was deputed to monitor the relief and rescue operations in the flood-hit Eluru district, visited the rehabilitation centre at Bhudevipeta in Velerupadu mandal on Saturday.

Mr. Bhaskar, along with Joint Collector P. Arun Babu, enquired about the supply of food and other facilities at the relief camp arranged in Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV). He directed the officers to utilise the services of Asha, ANM and Sachivalayam staff for the flood duties.

Reviewing the flood situation, level of water, condition of bunds, evacuation of people and supply of medicines to the relief camps at Polavaram, the special officer directed the officers to focus on shifting pregnant women from the flood-affected villages.
