Balagopal, Chinchu Rani visit relief camps in Munroe Thuruthu
The Government will provide all assistance to those affected by rain-related disasters, Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal said here on Tuesday.
He was visiting relief camps in Munroe Thuruthu, one of the worst-hit parts of the district. “By taking ample precautions we can bring down the intensity of hardships caused by heavy rain. Blocked canals and creeks that disrupt the water flow is one reason that led to flooding and steps will be taken to address that,” the Minister said.
Mr. Balagopal said long-term plans to improve the living conditions of the islanders were under consideration.
