The Hindu Business Line : Flood havoc

SUBMERGED CROPS: Farmers displaying the damaged paddy at Kaza village in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh on Sunday. Relief operations in flood-hit areas are hampered by stagnant water and severe shortage of boats, preventing officials from reaching the needy.

A Central team is expected to visit the flood-hit areas soon.
