Sub: - Relief to flood affected victims – Postal Officials in Andhra Circle
The unprecedented rain and floods had devastated entire Kurnool town in Andhra Pradesh and the entire Postal staff living in the Postal quarters and Postal officials residing in the areas adjoining to the river were rendered homeless and lost all their belongings. The Roads, Houses and bridges in Kurnool and Mahboobngar have also collapsed due to the flood.
The massive flood in the Krishna wreaked havoc in Krishna, Guntur and Nalgonda districts of Andhra Pradesh as enormous quantities of water were released from Nagarjunasagar dam.
My Union therefore urges to grant enough funds from Welfare fund besides granting natural calamity advances to the affected staff immediately for their survival.
My Union shall be thankful for urgent action and a line in reply.
Yours sincerely,
