In the case of Cyclone Hudhud which had devastated Visakhapatnam and its surrounding areas in October 2014, 1,264 claims had been reported, with total claim amount valued at Rs 739.21 crore.
Out of these, 882 claims have been fully settled with payment of Rs 70 crore, while 110 claims have been partly settled with payment of Rs 220 crore, he said.
“We are yet to settle 46 claims in the case of Cyclone Hudhud, with a claim amount at Rs 449 crore. A total of 226 ‘no claims’ were reported in Cyclone Hudhud,” he said.
“No claims” are those claims which have already been settled and have been reported repeatedly. (AGENCIES)
