Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has said compensation to all the eligible victims of Titli will be paid by October 29.
The enumeration process will be completed by October 22. Objections, if any, will be accepted till October 25.
Mr. Naidu, who celebrated Dasara without much fanfare at Palasa on Thursday, held a review meeting with the officials, where he mooted establishment of a ‘Titli Uddanam Reconstruction Programme Unit’ for rebuilding the entire region.
Mr. Naidu said Titli had ruined everything in Uddanam and it would take many years to restore the past glory of the region known for its best varieties of coconut and cashew. Rebuilding the region might not be a major problem as representatives of industries and people from all walks of life were coming forward to to do their bit, Mr. Naidu said.
“People of the State had contributed nearly ₹80 crore for the flood victims of Kerala,” Mr. Naidu recalled.
He directed the Education Department to reopen schools and colleges from Monday. Representatives of the poultry, rice mills, and salt industries urged the government to include their units too for payment of compensation.
Responding to their requests, Mr. Naidu suggested the Ministers and officials concerned to prepare proposals to look into those grievances.
