Hyderabad: On July 31, an Inter-Ministerial Central Team (IMCT) led by National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Advisor Kunal Satyarthi will visit Telangana to assess the damage caused by recent heavy rains.
Representatives from different ministries and departments, including Agriculture, Finance, Jal Shakti, Power, Road Transport and Highways, and the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), will form the central team.
The central team was dispatched on the orders of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, according to Telangana BJP President G Kishan Reddy.
Heavy rains lashed Telangana over the last week, creating floods in low-lying areas and causing damage to agricultural crops across the state. During this time, at least 18 individuals were killed in rain-related incidents.
As the rain has stopped in many sections of the state, relief efforts have begun to pick up steam. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is in charge of relief efforts and has been in contact with ministries and the Chief Secretary for coordination.
