00:00In Andhra Pradesh, in Vijayawada, there is a state of unprecedented crisis.
00:09We have never seen anything like this before.
00:13At the same time, a 400-millimetre flood has occurred.
00:20And because of that, a state of water shortage has arisen.
00:26In Burma, due to several breaches, and due to an unprecedented water shortage, Vijayawada is filled with water.
00:47There is a state of unprecedented crisis.
00:52But I would like to thank the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and the Honourable Leader of the Nation, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu Garuji for this.
01:06He and his entire team, 24 by 7, made the Collectorate their secretariat.
01:13And they have been working for 24 hours.
01:18Since this crisis has arisen, the government of the state, under the leadership of the Chief Minister, has been working day and night.
01:30And the Centre has provided a lot of support.
01:34The NDRF teams are working here continuously.
01:38The helicopters of the Air Force, the Central Government, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister have sent them.
01:57And day and night, along with the state government, they have tried to get the people out of this crisis.
02:10And that is why, even after such a terrible flood, the loss of human life has been very minimal.
02:22And that is why, if the government does not work so carefully, then this situation becomes very dangerous.
02:30Now, the immediate question that is in front of us, as Mr. Chandrababu was telling you, some long-term planning will have to be done.
02:45Today, I went around Vijayawada even in the water.
02:49I met with our local Central Minister, our local IT Minister, MLAs, MPs.
02:58And I am satisfied that with every department of the administration, our MPs, MLAs, Ministers, and various Bards have been assigned to each responsible IAS officer.
03:17I went and discussed with people. It is a problem that the water has been filled for five days.
03:23But despite this, whether it is food packets, milk supply, drinking water.
03:35For the first time, this has happened in the leadership of the state of Andhra Pradesh.
03:40Food packets, milk packets have been dropped from the drones.
03:46And people have said that they are getting it.
03:51And a team is constantly calling and asking, which is being monitored by the Chief Minister himself.
03:58So, the level of satisfaction of the people is that we are getting it. It is very high.
04:03The Central Minister, Mr. Chauhan, went around the area.
04:11He surveyed the area.
04:15He surveyed the entire area.
04:19He also surveyed the Bodhameer Bridge.
04:25He also walked in some areas in Vijayawada city.
04:32He also walked in some areas in Vijayawada city.
04:35He also walked in some areas in Vijayawada city.
04:41We also explained everything to them in the exhibition here.
04:47The Prakasham Barrage was designed 100 years ago for 11,090,000 cc of water.
05:00Today, 11,043,000 cc of water has come.
05:06Many projects were built after that.
05:09Nagar Sagar Gani, Pulichintala, Sri Sailam, Jorala, Almaty, so many projects were built.
05:20Today, due to climate change, cloudbursting, heavy rains,
05:30In two days, it rained 40 cm here.
05:35In two days, it rained 40 cm here.
05:42In addition to this, it rained heavily in Krishnanadhi and Parivakkam.
05:50On one side, the Bodhameer Bridge was built.
05:59On one side, the Bodhameer Bridge was built.
06:03All of a sudden, the drains were designed for 7,000 and 10,000 cc of water.
06:10There, 35,000 cc of water came at a time.
06:14If all of this had come, even Krishna Prakasham Barrage would have overflowed.
06:20Such a danger would have come.
06:22When we look there,
06:25On one side, it never rains in history.
06:29Unexpected rains come.
06:31At the same time, human error too.
06:35In 2019, five workers for the Bodhameer Bridge,
06:40If repairs and rectifications are sanctioned, cancel them.
06:44If three breaches fall, do not repair them either.
06:48On one side, flash floods came here.
06:52On one side, it rained heavily in Krishnanadhi.
06:56Because of that, a big devastation happened.
06:59A technical team has come now.
07:02They are also analyzing.
07:04If possible, Prakasham Barrage.
07:07It is necessary to improve by discharging 15 lakh cc of water.
07:14It is also necessary to strengthen the bunds on the other side.
07:19We have told you all the details of the loss.
07:23On one side, the whole Vijayawada town was flooded.
07:31All the houses were flooded.
07:33Without clothes,
07:36They came to a situation where they had to stay with their clothes.
07:40On the other side, all the things in their house,
07:44Normally,
07:47No gas connection,
07:50No cooker,
07:52No fridge,
07:54No TV,
07:56Even their vehicles,
07:59If there is a scooter or a car,
08:02They are also damaged.
08:04We have explained everything.
08:06We are sending reports to the center.
08:08Today, the army is coming to close the bridge.
08:12They are also coming at 8 o'clock.
08:15For the efforts we make, they are coming with the best practices and better equipment.
08:21We are trying to do as many efforts as possible.
08:25The Minister of Environment has seen all the things.
08:28I am always explaining to you.
