Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa chaired a meeting with industrialists and entrepreneurs on Wednesday (August 14), in which he said that the flood-hit villages will be renamed after them, if they donate amply to the flood relief.
At a meeting held at Vidhana Soudha, CM Yediyurappa said that Karnataka has suffered a severe loss due to the floods that have shattered several parts of the state. He said that villages will be named after the people who are contributing more than Rs 10 crore or more to the flood relief and rehabilitation funds.
The chief minister said that the villages that get funding would be treated as those adopted by the said companies which donate money. Over 60 industrialists and entrepreneurs had taken part in the meeting. More than 200 villages in 23 districts have been severely affected due to the torrential rains and floods.
