The tribal majority Bhadradri Kothagudem district suffered widespread damage, estimated to be around ₹129 crore, due to the recent spell of heavy rains and massive floods in the Godavari and its tributaries, taking a heavy toll on roads, drinking water supply, power and irrigation infrastructure besides agricultural as well as horticultural crops in the flood ravaged areas.
This was conveyed by the district authorities to the four member Central team, which on Friday visited the flood ravaged areas in Bhadradri Kothagudem district, worst hit by the last week’s floods, sources said.
The Central team comprised Deputy Secretary in Ministry of Finance Parthiban, Director in Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare K Manoharan and two other senior officials from the National Highways Authority and the Central Water Commission (CWC).
