Naidu held a meeting with District Collectors through video conference and discussed the situation arising out of the heavy rains that lashed these districts in the last three days, a government press release said.
He asked the Collectors to take measures to save the standing crops that are submerged in rain water and also instructed them to take steps against the spread of diseases by holding health camps.
Heavy rains triggered by the northeast monsoon lashed several districts flooding low-lying areas and throwing normal life out of gear. The heavy rains led to inundation of low-lying areas in towns and villages in Chittoor and other districts.
