TRP leader urges government to support fire accident victims

Bhupalpally: Telangana Rajyadhikara Party (TRP) District President Koutam Ravi has urged the government to provide immediate financial assistance to five shop owners who lost their establishments in a fire accident on Ganesh Chowk Road. The incident completely gutted five roadside shops, causing an estimated loss of Rs12 lakh.

Ravi visited the affected shops, consoled the victims and enquired about their familieson Thursday. He contacted the Tehsildar and sought financial assistance under disaster-relief regulations. However, he was informed that funds were currently unavailable. Questioning the government’s response, Ravi urged the District Collector to sanction special funds and demanded that the local MLA provide Rs1 lakh to each affected shop owner.

He also sought coordination between the Collector and Forest Department officials to resolve land-related issues and enable the victims to rebuild their shops in accordance with legal provisions. Ravi said he had spoken to the Divisional Forest Officer seeking cooperation.

Warning of democratic protests if the demands were ignored, he said TRP would continue its fight until justice was delivered. Party leaders, affected traders and local residents participated in the visit.
