Vijayawada: The NTR district collector Dr G Srijana stated on Sundaythat there would be no programme on Monday in which the Chief Minister would participate to distribute compensation to the flood victims, contrary to what was circulated on social media.
She clarified that every family which suffered loss due to the floods would receive government help. She mentioned that 90 per cent of the flood victims have already received financial assistance through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in their bank accounts.
However, the remaining 10 per cent are facing issues with their bank accounts, resulting in the delay of the compensation distribution.
