AAP Goa teams led by their leaders have been visiting flood-hit villages on a daily basis to help locals and provide aid. On the first day AAP Goa Convenor Rahul Mhambre did a survey and assessment of the damage done and the aid needed in Sattari and Valpoi and simultaneously Surel Tilve AAP Goa Vice President surveyed Ponda.
This was followed by teams that went to various villages to distribute ration and provide assistance and even cooked food was provided in some areas. Yesterday AAP Leader Cecille Rodriques has led a team to Valpoi while Surel Tilve is providing aid in Ponda.
AAP teams in Ponda assessed the damage and the requirements for locals and have been distributing ration and meals in flood-affected areas of Khandepar Village. Adv Surel Tilve and team has also visited all houses which were affected or collapsed in floods.
"So far the govt response has almost been non-existent. Once again we are seeing that it is only Goans who are helping each other," said Adv Surel Tilve, Vice President AAP Goa.
"Today we visited Shivajinagar Khadke a flood affected village in Valpoi, we donated clothes, money for food, distributed groceries. These items were donated by residents from Taleigao & Tiswadi taluka as well as Goans all over including support from Martins Courtyard Taleigao and Bombil restaurant in Panjim.
"Due to floods most of Sattari is affected. Our MLA has only given verbal assurances of aid and as of now nothing has reached the ground," said AAP Goa leader Shubham Shivolkar from Valpoi.
