Flood victims from Tekulaboru village on Sunday staged a demonstration in front of the mandal Tehsildhar’s office in Kunavaram demanding adequate supply of essential commodities such as rice in view of the devastation caused by floods.

According to sources, a section of the flood victims sheltered in a relief camp staged a demonstration at the entrance of the Mandal Revenue Office resenting poor arrangements at the relief camp. They relented only after the officials assured them that they would personally monitor the arrangements.
