As the flood situation in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh continues to be grim, Home Minister P Chidambaram will undertake an aerial survey of the two affected states for an assessment of the damaged caused by the natural disaster.
Chidamabaram, who is currently in Tamil Nadu, is also expected to hold meetings with the Chief Ministers of both states - B S Yeddyurappa (Karnataka) and K Rosaiah (Andhra Pradesh) -- and other top officials in Bangalore and Hyderabad, official sources here said.
Senior Home ministry officers are in constant touch with the state authorities and other agencies. The situation is being monitored on round the clock basis by the MHA control room, sources said.
Meanwhile, the Home Ministry has allocated an amount of Rs 139.36 crore to the Calamity Relief Fund for Karnataka for 2009-10, comprising Rs 104.52 crore as Central contribution and Rs 34.84 crore as state contribution.
