“The MP has told me to use his funds from the MPLAD scheme to work out a relief package for the flood victims. By Monday, I will issue the necessary orders to ensure that the relief reaches the victims”, Agrawal said.
Incidentally, though Rajya Sabha MP Shantaram Naik had announced Rs one lakh compensation to the Cuncolim flood victims, the amount is yet to reach the victims till date for reasons best known to the district administration.
