Vijayawada Floods : The city of Vijayawada is yet to recover. The death toll is changing. The figure is higher than what the government is saying. As the flood waters recede, the bodies are being recovered. Tens of dead bodies are coming to light within hours. Those who could not escape due to the flood are said to have lost their lives. But it is to be known how many people have died. Bereaved relatives are drowning in grief. The flood in the city is gradually receding. According to government figures, 32 people have been declared dead so far. But it seems that many people could not survive the flood and died. At present, the bodies are being recovered as the flood is receding. Officials are working to identify them. At the same time, the missing people are floating as corpses. A 14-year-old boy from Chitti Nagar area has gone missing. When the flood receded, the dead body floated. It looks heartbreaking to see the boy's dead body being carried on a wooden plank with great difficulty. It touched everyone's hearts. The way the family members are moving in tears is indescribable. They are moving the dead body in heart breaking pain. On the other hand, it seems that children and old people are being moved with great difficulty.
* Singh Nagar area is Atalakutalam
Singh Nagar area has been heavily damaged by flood water. There are still many colonies under flood where relief operations are going on. The rehabilitation process for them is also delayed. There is a delay in food distribution. The victims are worried that they are not getting water, milk and food. Helicopters and drone cameras are running. The suffering of those suffering from illnesses is indescribable.
* Difficulties for chronic patients
But many chronic patients die. Others were lost in the flood waters. Tragedy ensued as their dead bodies were recovered while they all thought they were safe. At least the relatives who are required to perform the last rites of the dead bodies cannot come. The authorities are handing over the dead bodies found to their relatives. It is remarkable that these dead bodies are coming to light when the flood recedes.
* Homeless for four days
There has been no power supply for the past four days. There are no essential commodities at home. Those who do not eat food are present. Many areas are still flooded. On the other hand, the news that there has been a fire in Budameru is increasing the tension among the victims. On the other hand, viral fevers are booming. There is a campaign going on that there is a possibility of spreading diseases. Sanitation works have started in the flooded areas, but there is some kind of concern among the people. Although it is thought that there has been no loss of life so far, as many dead bodies are being found, there is concern about how many will be found in the future.
