In a video-conference with the Collectors, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that power should be restored as soon as rain subsided and suggested frequent monitoring of the situation.
He said ₹1,000 should be given to each family returning home from relief camps. He wanted quality food to be given to those taking shelter in such camps, along with the required medical care and safe drinking water.
