Sravan Dasoju criticises KCR on flood relief distribution issue

Hyderabad: AICC Spokesperson Sravan Dasoju criticised Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for not keeping his promise made in a public meeting just days before the GHMC elections that the government would continue to distribute flood relief funds to reach every beneficiary in Hyderabad from December 7. However, even after a month after the announcement, there is no such activity seen happening in that direction, he lamented.

Sravan alleged that the TRS government and the CM have betrayed the innocent Hyderabadis who have been devastated by the incessant rains that lashed two-thirds of the city of Hyderabad in October. Although the CM has said that they have distributed Rs 650 crore to about 6.5 lakh beneficiaries and would further distribute relief compensation to over 1 lakh people, but nothing has been done so far, he criticised.

He asked the government for a deadline to complete the flood relief funds distribution to the beneficiaries in Hyderabad. "How long should they wait for their turn?," he questioned.

In the wake of receiving notices from the High Court of Telangana, the government, especially the Chief Secretary and the Commissioner of GHMC must immediately react on this important matter and put the division wise and ward wise list of beneficiaries who have already benefited and who are identified for further distribution of funds on the website for public audit, he demanded.
