Bengaluru, Jul 28: Deputy Chief Minister and KPCC President D K Shivakumar has asked all his Cabinet colleagues to immediately visit flood-hit areas and attend to flood relief works.

“Karnataka is experiencing heavy rains and most of the reservoirs are full. Rivers are in spate as flood waters are released from reservoirs. There have been reports of damage to property, crops and livestock. In this distress, it is our duty to stand with our people,” he said in Bengaluru on Sunday.

In view of the heavy downpour, flooding, and other havoc due to rains, he said: “I appeal my Cabinet colleagues to visit flood affected areas in their constituencies and other areas and attend to people’s problems.”

“Thanks to Rain Gods, we are receiving good rains this year, but rains have also created problems in some areas. As elected representatives, we need to stand with the people of the State,” he added.
