Mangaluru: Former Karnataka Minister U T Khader on Wednesday called upon Governor Vajubhai Vala for his intervention in flood management in the state as he claimed the government was failing to provide help people affected by floods in various parts of the state.

Several places in the state have been badly affected by floods which has caused damages and loss to public and private properties. Seven people have also died due to floods in the state.

"The government in coma which has made District Administrations and officials inoperative, which has led to more chaos and inconvenience to people in the flood-hit areas" Khader noted while adding that no compensation was announced for them by the government so far.

Khader also urged government to take last year's Kodagu flood management as an example of tackling the situation.
