Saturday, August 18, 2018 IST
This is the deadliest deluge in Kerala in close to a century, which has claimed 194 lives since August 8. Over 3.14 lakh people have been moved to relief camps.
All Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs, MLAs and ministers will donate one-month salary for the relief work in flood-ravaged Kerala, where 194 people have died.
Delhi chief minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced Rs 10 crore relief for the state from the government.
In a tweet, Kejriwal on Saturday said, “All AAP MLAs, MPs and ministers (are) donating one month salary for Kerala.”
Kejriwal appealed to the public to make donations to the crisis-hit state. The Delhi chief minister also spoke to his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan.
“Spoke to Kerala CM. Del govt is making a contribution of Rs 10 cr. I sincerely appeal to everyone to donate generously for our brothers and sisters in Kerala (sic),” Kejriwal tweeted yesterday.
This is the deadliest deluge in Kerala in close to a century, which has claimed 194 lives since August 8. Further, a body blow has been dealt to the scenic state, with its infrastructure, standing crops and tourism facilities severely hit.
Over 3.14 lakh people have been moved to relief camps.
