Governor appeals to all organisations to extend all possible support to families affected by floods

Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan has appealed to all the organisations, both Government and private, to extend all possible support to families that are badly affected by floods in the north Telangana districts.

The exceptionally heavy monsoon rains affected more than 10 million people leaving many families homeless. These are the testing times for the State and 10 districts of north Telangana as well as central parts of the State surrounding Hyderabad that are badly affected by the devastating floods, the Governor said in a message on Tuesday.

The situation was emerging more and more serious than expected. The Government had opened relief centres in schools and public buildings. But it looked like these centres needed to be increased as the floods were continuing the mayhem. “I am getting a gut feeling that whatever help we provide to the affected families in these difficult times with the present approach is inadequate,” she said.
