Telangana High Court on Friday directed the State government to file a comprehensive report on the relief measures undertaken for the families affected by recent heavy rains and floods across the State.
A bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice T. Vinod Kumar passed this direction after hearing an interim application in a PIL petition filed by Cheruku Sudhakar over the floods in 2020. The bench wanted the government to give detailed information about the rescue operations and what further relief measures were yet to be taken.
The bench directed the government to furnish information about the evacuation of people from areas being affected by floods and shifting of people to safer places and shelter zones. What were the government’s plans to pay ex-gratia to the families of those who had lost lives in the floods.
