Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan says that he will submit a detailed report to the Union government on the reconstruction of the Uddanam region that has been completely devastated by cyclone Titli.

Mr. Pawan, who toured Palasa, Itchapuram, Vajrapukotturu and other areas for three days, has urged the Centre to announced a special package for the Uddanam region.

He has also asked the State government to announce concessions and subsidies for the farmers of coconut and cashew crops as the damage is severe.

Besides, it will take decades for them to regain their financial strength.

“The government says it will supply 25 kg rice to the victims. They need sincere support as they have been witnessing backwardness for over 25 years,” he says.

Aid for fishermen

Mr. Pawan has also sought special package for the fishermen community as it has lost boats and nets.

Former Speaker Nadendla Manohar accompanied Mr. Pawan Kalyan.
