Karnataka Cheif Minister B.S. Yediyurappa faced some opposition from some victims in flood-hit villages in Belagavi district on July 25. Flood-affected victims from Yamagarani and Sankeshwar expressed their anguish against the State government. Manjunath Dole, a young man from Yamagarani, told journalists that officials had been negligent about the flood victims. “We were shifted to the flood relief centres three days ago. We have not got proper food, blankets and other things for two days. Only today, officers gave us proper food as the CM was visiting,” he said. Banneppa Tumbad, a farmer from Sankeshwar, complained to journalists that the State government had failed to provide proper relief to farmers who had lost houses. “My brother’s house collapsed in the last year’s floods. He is yet to get the ₹5 lakh compensation that the CM had announced last year,” he said.More Related News
