Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed the district Collectors of the flood-affected Alluri Sitharama Raju, Eluru, Konaseema, and East and West Godavari districts to take up relief and rescue operations effectively.
Reviewing the relief measures in the flood-affected districts with the Collectors virtually from his camp office, near here, on Thursday, the Chief Minister said that the officials were authorised to withdraw funds in advance under TR-27 in times of natural calamities.
“For the last four years, we are following this system, which is being emulated by other States,” he said, adding that he also made it a point to tour the flood-hit areas to personally supervise the situation.
