KARIMNAGAR: Floods in Bokkalavagu of Manthani inundated several areas of the town including the godown at the agricultural market, where rice and other products meant for distribution through ration shops had been kept.
The entire stock worth about ₹3 crore got damaged as a result. Following this, officials of the civil supplies department informed that distribution of rations for the month will be delayed in Manthani mandal. They sought people’s cooperation in this regard.
