 FLOODS IN KARNATAKA AND ANDHRA PRADESH In Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, flood victims have started receiving loans from the state government to help restart their lives. So far 17 nationalized banks have come forward to provide loans to the victims. Collector Mukesh Kumar Meena told that a total of 24,000 applications were received for petty loans and in the first phase 6,500 applications were processed and sanctioned loans. The second phase would be taken up in the first week of December.
Kurnool city is almost back to normal thanks to the effective role of district authorities. In Karnataka, the relief work especially providing temporary shelters and relocating the extremely vulnerable villages is in slow progress. Only a few farmers were able to take up re-sowing on their land in Raichur district. However, a major part of the cultivable land along the bank of the river has become non-cultivable, owing to soil erosion/ sand casting during the flash floods.
