Financial aid of Rs 4 lakh has been provided to the families of those who lost their lives in the flood, while Rs 50,000 has been given to the injured. The nature of assistance doesn't matter; the willingness to help must be respected. Even children have donated their saved tiffin money to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund,” he added.
