Those who suffered partial or complete damage to their homes awaiting the relief promised by CM
Hundreds of people from several pockets of the city who had suffered partial or complete destruction of their homes during the devastating October floods last year are still awaiting the promised relief by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
The floods following heavy rains between October 14 and 18 resulted in the submergence of several localities, and left thousands homeless. Quite a few of them returned after the water receded, only to find their homes damaged and in utter disarray. While the well-heeled could carry out repairs, the calamity hit the poor the worst. “I would not have bought this home had I known what was in store,” rues Rubina Begum looking in deep despair at the collapsed walls of her home in Shankar Nagar slum of Chaderghat.
