CM Mamata Banerjee To Survey Flood-hit Areas In Bengal
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee will conduct an aerial survey of Ghatal in Paschim Medinipur district that is affected due to an "unnatural" flood on August 10. A day before, Banerjee also surveyed the areas of Udaynarayanpur and Jhargram districts and blamed the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) for releasing ''excessive water'' from its dams. Reportedly, around 23 people have died so far and many people have had to abandon their homes.
