Rampachodavaram (ASR district): As the people in Polavaram mandals are facing problems with floodwater, CPM leaders went in a boat in Godavari flood-hit Sriramagiri village in VR Puram mandal on Friday and visited the victims. CPM district committee member Poonam Satyanarayana demanded 5 litres of kerosene per house for the victims. He also requested to give vegetables, rice and tarpaulins.

MLC Anantha Babu and MLA Nagulapalli Dhanalakshmi visited the flood-affected villages in Koonavaram and VR Puram mandals and visited the victims.
