Wanaparthy: The Communist Party of India (CPI-M) in Wanaparthy has asked the government to help people whose houses collapsed due to heavy rains. The district secretary, MD Jabbar, said on Wednesday that the government should give Rs 1 lakh to each affected family.
Jabbar suggested that new houses should be provided to these families under the Pradhan Mantri Yojana scheme. He mentioned that houses should be built both in the district center and in the villages, similar to the ones that were destroyed.
He made these comments after talking to homeowners in Chirkapalli village, whose houses were recently damaged by the rain. Jabbar also referred to a statement made by the Revenue Minister, who said that Indiramma houses would be provided to those who lost their homes, but under the PMHY scheme.
Additionally, the CPI-M leader urged both the Central and State governments to jointly provide Rs 15 lakh to each affected family. He suggested that the Central government should give Rs 10 lakh, while the State government should contribute Rs 5 lakh.
Jabbar also called for immediate relief for the rain-hit families. He demanded that Revenue officials provide 25 kg of free rice to each affected family and other necessary goods to those who lost their homes, along with the Rs 1 lakh compensation.
