Noting that many very poor families living on the banks of the Yamuna have suffered a lot due to the flood-like situation in the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday announced ten thousand rupees per family as financial help for the affected families.
Taking to Twitter, the Delhi CM announced a series of measures to help flood-affected families in the city. “Many very poor families living on the banks of the Yamuna have suffered a lot. In some families, the entire household goods were washed away,” he said, announcing Rs 10,000 for each flood-affected family.
He further said special camps will be organised for those whose papers, like Aadhaar cards, etc., have been washed away.
“The children whose clothes and books were washed away will be given these on behalf of the schools,” he added.
Marooned locals residing on the banks of the Yamuna were evacuated and shifted to relief camps after the river breached the danger mark, resulting in water spilling over and flooding several parts of the national capital.
