Naidu seeks judicial probe into flood fury
The Hindu
‘Govt. failed to act as per disaster manual’
Asserting that the disaster caused by the flood in the Rayalaseema districts was a man-made one, TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday demanded that a judicial probe be done into the entire episode to fix accountability.
“The loss of nearly 60 lives in rain-related incidents is the result of apathy, selfishness and arrogance of the government,” he told the media, while winding up his tour of the flood-hit areas in Chittoor and Kadapa districts.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
