Madikeri: Former CM Siddaramaiah demanded PM Narendra Modi to visit Kodagu district and know the situation here.

Siddaramaiah after visiting relief centres in Kodagu said, “PM Modi should come here and know the situation here and know the damages undergone here. PM must visit Kodagu and declare an appropriate relief package for the district,”

Considering the fact that over 6,000 people have been displaced in the recent floods in the district.

The relief fund towards Kerala is appreciable, now we expect PM to come over to Kodagu and review the condition here. 

He said and added that he has already urged the state government to form an expert committee to assess the losses suffered and has asked Minister Krishna Byregowda to make sure employment generation under MGNREGS takes off in Kodagu district. He further said that Minister UT Khader has been asked to take necessary steps to provide temporary and permanent accommodation for the displaced families.

“Priority will be given on construction of roads, providing electricity and medical facilities along with construction of homes, ” he said.
