NEW DELHI: Ministry of home affairs has released Rs 5,858.6 crore to 14 states affected by monsoon-related disasters as a central share from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) and an advance from the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF).
Besides Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh which will receive Rs 1,492 crore and Rs 1,036 crore respectively, Rs 716 crore will go to Assam, Rs 656 crore to Bihar, Rs 600 crore to Gujarat, Rs 189 crore to Himachal Pradesh, Rs 146 crore to Kerala, Rs 50 crore to Manipur, Rs 21 crore to Mizoram, Rs 19 crore to Nagaland, Rs 23 crore to Sikkim, Rs 417 crore to Telangana, Rs 25 crore to Tripura and Rs 468 crore to West Bengal. These states have been affected due to extremely heavy rainfall, floods and landslides during the south-west monsoon this year.
"The Modi govt stands shoulder to shoulder with the states affected by natural calamities in mitigating the hardship faced by the people," home minister Shah posted on X.
While inter-ministerial central teams have already visited flood-hit Assam, Mizoram, Kerala, Tripura, Nagaland, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Manipur for an on-the-spot assessment of damage, teams will be sent shortly to Bihar and Bengal that were recently affected by floods. After the assessment reports are received, additional financial assistance from NDRF will be approved to the disaster affected states, as per the established procedure.
