Rs 25 cr for Kodagu disaster victims: Priyank Kharge
Bengaluru: Social Welfare Minister Priyank Kharge said that the state government has been taking all measures required to supply food and other materials and rehabilitate the distressed people in the natural disaster that struck Kodagu district.
To help the people of the district, the Social Welfare department would release Rs 25 crore immediately and directed the senior officers of his department to go to Kodagu and assess the loss due to tragedy, he said.
“Such natural disasters would always have more impact and loss on the helpless people of the society than the rich. The rain is obstructing the estimation of loss of properties. As soon as the rain subsidized, the officials would estimate the loss and take up relief measures”, he said.
He also appealed the employees and officials of boards and corporations coming under the Social Welfare department to help the people of Kodagu district in their time of distress.
