A citizen of Kollur town in Vararamachandrapuram (VIRTUAL REALITY Puram) mandal in Andhra’s Alluri Sitharamaraju area, he is amongst the 62 Adivasi households delegated take care of themselves after the current floodings in the location.

The mandal has 11 panchayats.
“We are staying here holding on to our lives every night. Once the sun sets, a sense of fear prevails. Without lights, there is always the danger of venomous insects and snakes sneaking into our shelter. We have small children too. It is extremely difficult to live like this,” Muthyala regreted.
Kollur is a town controlled by the Adivasi Kondareddy neighborhood. “Ours is one of the interior villages in the district. We have never had access to electricity, but we were not that scared in our homes. But camping here on the hill has us constantly worried. What if someone is bitten by a snake? How should we carry the person to the hospital wading through the water?” statedMuthayala
He declared that the authorities did not make any type of initiative to connect to them or educate them concerning the intensity of the floodings. “We are on our own. Nobody has come to check if we are alive or dead. We have lost all our belongings and our homes in the floods. The government had assured us that they would relocate us to a safe shelter in East Godavari district, but these shelters are not ready yet.”
Suthru Ramarao Reddy, homeowner of Kotaragummam town in the exact same mandal, informed TNM, “We do not have access to drinking water. We are using the water flowing from the hills. Because of this people are falling sick. At least 10 persons in my village are suffering from malaria because we are living in the jungle. We want authorities to provide us safe drinking water. We don’t even have borewells here. At least some arrangements for a purifier should be made.” .
Confirming what the citizens stated, the ZPTC participant stated that in June, throughout the initial stage of the floodings, the area management had actually offered 25 kg rice, dal and also oil to the flood-affected citizens. “But later they were not provided anything. This is the situation across the mandal,” statedValla Ranga Reddy
The accusations of indifference was seconded by Valla Venkateswara Reddy, Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency participant from Jeediguppa, VIRTUAL REALITY Puram mandal.
Speaking to TNM, Venkateswara Reddy stated, “Except for initially providing rice, dal and oil, the district administration hasn’t done anything. With the help of NGOs and other volunteer organisations we have been providing rations and conducting health camps. The situation is really bad.”
Apart from Alluri Sitharamaraju area, a number of flood-prone locations in Eluru, East Godavari and also West Godavari areas have actually additionally been removed from the landmass as a result of the floodings.
When TNM connected to the VIRTUAL REALITY Puram Mandal Revenue Officer, Sridhar, he stated, “The Godavari belt (in which Kollur is located) has witnessed total submergence. It has been completely cut off. We are sending them supplies through boats. The necessary supplies will reach them tomorrow.”
