Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday told the Kodagu district administration to release compensation to those whose houses collapsed completely, were badly and partially damaged in the recent rains and landslides, without any delay and added that the remaining houses constructed for the flood victims of 2018 and 2019 would be handed over to the beneficiaries within two months.
Addressing presspersons after chairing a meeting in Madikeri to assess the damage caused by rains and landslides in Kodagu this monsoon, he said ₹5 lakh would be given for a collapsed house, ₹3 lakh for a badly-damaged house, and ₹50,000 for a partially-damaged house. An interim relief of ₹10,000 has been handed over to all affected persons, he added.
This monsoon, two houses have collapsed completely while 15 were badly damaged and 63 are partially damaged. The owners of all these houses will get relief at the earliest, Mr. Bommai said.
