Andhra govt to distribute food grains, other essentials to families in flood-hit areas

Essential commodities will be distributed to flood-affected families in Chittoor, Nellore, Kadapa and Anantapur districts.

The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to distribute essential commodities like rice, dal, edible oil, onions, and potatoes to flood-affected families in Chittoor, Nellore, Kadapa and Anantapur districts free of cost. The decision was taken after a review meeting chaired by CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

The unprecedented rains resulted in reservoirs and rivers in Andhra Pradesh's Rayalseema region to overflow.
