BJP asks cadre to reach out to rain-hit people in Andhra Pradesh

BJP State president P.V.N. Madhav has asked party leaders and workers to remain alert and extend assistance to people in the rain-affected areas in North Andhra, coastal Andhra and the Godavari districts.

Addressing them through a teleconference on Thursday, Mr. Madhav reviewed the situation arising from heavy rains caused by the deep depression in the Bay. He said people were welcoming the rains as the State experienced deficient rainfall. However, heavy rains could lead to inundation and cause difficulties to people in some areas, requiring party workers to take precautionary measures, he said.

Mr. Madhav asked the party workers to visit the affected areas and identify problems being faced by people and take steps for immediate assistance. They should bring details of inundation and damage to the notice of the district administration, he said.
