Tribals of various habitations, located in the merged mandals on Andhra Pradesh-Telangana borders allege that both the governments were not taking care of them during Godavari floods.
“Our villages were cut-off from the mainland, and we are suffering a lot. But, no government was coming to our rescue,” said the villagers of the merged mandals.
“Post bifurcation of the Telugu States, Velerupadu, Kukunur and other mandals were merged into Andhra Pradesh. But, we don’t know in which State we are in now, as no government was taking care of us,” said S. Varamma.
