Earlier on July 20, the Telangana government submitted a report to the Union government with a preliminary estimation of Rs 1,400 crore damage due to recent heavy rains and floods in the state. It sought immediate financial assistance of Rs 1,000 crore from the Union government, an official release said. Heavy rains and floods last week led to inundation of low-lying areas and damage to agricultural crops in the state. As flood receded, the residents of inundated areas in Bhadradri-Kothagudem and other districts were faced with post-flood issues like damaged household items. The houses and essential items like food stuff were badly damaged in various flood-hit areas.
