Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Announced Rs 15 Crore For Telangana Flood Relief

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday announced a donation of Rs 15 crore for relief efforts in flood-hit Telangana, saying people of Delhi stand with residents of the state.

"Floods have caused havoc in Hyderabad. People of Delhi stand by our brother and sisters in Hyderabad in this hour of crisis. Delhi govt will donate Rs 15 cr to the Govt of Telangana for its relief efforts," he tweeted.

Upwards of 70 individuals have passed on in downpour related occurrences during the previous week in the state, 

Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao said on Monday. 

The pastor said Hyderabad got the second-most elevated recorded



precipitation after 1908, which constrained the state government to migrate around 37,000 individuals from low-lying regions to help camps.

According to him, 33 people in Greater Hyderabad.

Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and adjoining areas, and 37 people in districts have lost their lives.

A fresh spell of heavy rains on Saturday night caused flooding on Sunday in parts of the city after it last week witnessed one of the worst deluges in recent times following unprecedented downpour in over a century.

The Telangana government, in a preliminary estimate, had pegged the losses at over Rs 5,000 crore caused due to rains and floods.
