Punjab CM Amarinder Singh Announces Rs 10 Crore Worth Help To Flood-Ravaged Kerala

Darpan News Desk IANS, 17 Aug, 2018 11:05 AM

    Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has announced Rs 10 crore worth of immediate relief for the flood-ravaged state of Kerala.

     

    The structural composition of the help include transfer of Rs 5 crore from Punjab Chief Minister’s Fund to Kerala CM Fund.

     

    The balance amount will be in the form of ready-to-eat food material and other supplies which will be flown out with the help of the Defence Ministry.

     

    Punjab Government’s official spokesperson said here that the first Air Force sortie was expected to take off tomorrow to deliver 30 tonnes of ready-to-eat foods, such as biscuits, rusks, bottled water, and milk powder, to the flood-hit state.

     

    About one lakh food packets are to be sent in the first consignment. The remaining will be dispatched as and when requisitioned by the Kerala Government.

     

    A total of four sorties, each carrying 30 tonnes, would be undertaken.

     
     

    The spokesperson added that the Punjab Financial Commissioner Revenue had earlier spoken to his Kerala counterpart to assess the flood situation and the kind of support required by the Kerala Government to deal with the large scale flood-induced disaster.

     

    He further informed that acting on the chief minister’s appeal, members of the Punjab IAS Officers’ Association have decided to donate one day’s salary each to the CM’s Relief Fund to support the Kerala relief measures.

     

    The chief minister has also appealed to other government employees to extend similar help
