Nirmal: Forest Minister Allola Indrakaran Reddy said that the government would extend all support to victims of the incessant rains that wreaked havoc to the district. He toured rain-hit areas across the district on Monday.

Indrakaran Reddy covered Parimnandal and Kishanraopet villages in Mamada mandal where an irrigation tank was breached and interacted with local farmers. He inspected the paddy fields damaged by the downpours. He found out the losses caused by the rains by walking barefoot in the slushy fields and streets.
