Vijayawada: From wading through floodwaters and riding on boats and bulldozers, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is putting in all efforts to work for the relief of flood ravaged people in the state, which also included surveying a swollen rivulet from a railway bridge when a train whizzed by.
Following the unprecedented torrential downpours and floods in Vijayawada, Naidu made multiple visits to the flood-hit places to personally supervise the relief work.
According to PTI Videos, the CM was assessing the flood situation firsthand from atop a small railway bridge in Vijayawada over a gushing rivulet-like water body on Thursday, accompanied by several officials and NSG commandos.
During that time, a train whizzed by and the 74-year-old Naidu, standing by the bridge's railing on a narrow platform very close to the moving train, was unperturbed.
Passengers from the speeding train cheered the CM's fieldwork.
