Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, on Sunday, announced a ₹1,000 crore package to construct a new residential colony at a higher ground for people living in flood-prone areas in Bhadrachalam.
He wanted concrete measures in consultation with irrigation and other experts to find a lasting solution to the recurring problem of floods in and around the temple town and Burgampahad mandal.
He was speaking to the media after taking stock of the flood situation at a high-level review meeting at the ITDA headquarters in Bhadrachalam, where the Godavari continued to flow ferociously, nearly seven feet above the danger mark on Sunday evening.
