“The Chief Minister released Rs 550 crore to provide immediate financial relief to the flood-affected families. Nearly five lakh flood-affected families are benefiting from the gesture. We are giving another opportunities to the flood affected families who did not receive the financial relief announced by the State government and asking them to avail the amount by submitting an application through Mee Seva centres,” Rama Rao added.
