Widespread damage has been done to private and public property. As many as eight houses in the villages of Hikim, komic and Lagcha have been partially damaged due to heavy rains. There has also been loss to standing crops like Peas and other vegetables grown in these areas. Around 100 foreign tourists, who had come to visit this area have been stranded because of roads having been cut off. I would like to earnestly request the Central Government to take this matter seriously so that these tourists who have been stranded there could be brought back from there. In the Miar area of Lahaul Valley a bridge over Challing nullah was washed away by these floods and about 50 people who were stranded because of this took refuge in another village. The link road in this area has been disrupted. The water level of the Sutlej river, as you have been reading in the newspaper, has increased alarmingly and this has created panic amongst the people of the area. A lot of damage to this area had taken place last year due to floods.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A bridge situated on the main road linking Kinnaur and Spiti Valley near Tabo was also washed away. Even the Udaipur \u2013 Killar\u00a0 road, the only link to the Pangi Valley in Chamba district has been blocked due to landslides. Even in Mandi district, landslides on the Kamand link road from Katola in Drang block have blocked the roads disrupting the traffic.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So, I would like to urge upon the Central Government to assess the loss owing to floods and take a serious view of the situation as prevailing there and should extend full support to the State to bring back normalcy at the earliest in these remote and far-flung areas of my Parliamentary constituency.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=PROF.%20M.%20RAMADASS%20\">PROF. M. RAMADASS <\/a>(<a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=PONDICHERRY\">PONDICHERRY<\/a>): Sir, I have already drawn the attention of the hon. Home Minister to the serious flood situation in the one of the enclaves of the Union Territory of Pondicherry. Yanam, a small pocket surrounded by the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, has been almost completely washed away by the incessant rains and flood water that are coming from the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat. A lot of damage has been done to the social assets as well as to private assets of the people. Although there has been no loss of life reported, yet there has been extensive damage to crops, cattle, roads, bridges and to various other infrastructure. We would have to rebuild the whole thing. According to tentative estimates available a sum of Rs. 50 crore would be required to meet up this loss to crops and various other things. The Government of Pondicherry has been doing its best to take up relief measures on war footing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sir, I would like to request the hon. Minister to rush relief to the Union Territory of Pondicherry. I feel that most of the people who have been affected are fishermen, landless labourers and sea community people. They have been deprived of any income and employment for the last ten days. Therefore, a sum of Rs. 3000\/- to each family to such 12,000 affected families should be rushed immediately and then when the final estimates would be made, the Government can release more money out of the Drought and Relief Fund of the Government.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=DR.%20M.%20JAGANNATH%20\">DR. M. JAGANNATH <\/a>(<a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=NAGAR%20KURNOOL\">NAGAR KURNOOL<\/a>): Sir, due to heavy rains in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka all the rivers in the Andhra Pradesh are in spate causing floods in many districts of Andhra Pradesh, particularly in the Telengana and Coastal Andhra Pradesh. More than one thousand villages are still under water. More than 100 people have died and many more are missing; lakhs of people have become shelterless. Thousands of cattle have been lost due to floods. Lakhs of acres of crops have been submerged due to this. Flash flood waters had gushed into many towns and entered into the houses. At many places old houses have collapsed causing death to many people and also has resulted in loss of property. Not only the transport system, but also electricity and other means of communication have been very badly affected[snb17]\u00a0.\n<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there is nobody to help the affected people.\u00a0\u00a0 As usual, the response of the Government of Andhra Pradesh is lukewarm and no proper steps have been taken to evacuate and rehabilitate the flood-affected people.\u00a0 There is no drinking water even for the affected people, leave alone food and other civic facilities.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There is likelihood of contagious diseases spreading\u00a0 very rapidly\u00a0 due to lack of civil amenities at the camps.\u00a0 The Government of Andhra Pradesh is casual in paying attention to the flood affected victims and in providing rehabilitation to them.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=MR.%20SPEAKER\">MR.
