Union Minister for Culture, Tourism, and Development of North Eastern Region G. Kishan Reddy has said the heavy rains coupled with nala encroachments and poor maintenance of stormwater drains led to inundation of several colonies in the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation limits in the last week.
Speaking to reporters in Warangal after visiting the flood affected areas in the city on Sunday evening, Mr. Kishan Reddy said the State government should look into the recurring flooding of several residential colonies in the historic city and find a lasting solution to prevent the menace.
On the flood situation elsewhere in the State, he said the Centre promptly responded to mitigate the woes of people of flood affected areas in various districts by deploying NDRF teams and IAF helicopters to aid the relief and rescue operations.
