PM Modi Assures Full Central Support To 5 Flood-Hit States

PM Modi said the Home Minister is coordinating the rescue and relief operations in the flood-hit states.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today promised the Centre's total support to five flood-hit states in rescue and relief operations.

He said Home Minister Rajnath Singh is closely monitoring the situation and has spoken to chief ministers of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh to take stock of the situation.

"Centre assures total support in the rescue & relief operations. I hope the situation in the affected areas normalises at the earliest," the Prime Minister said in a tweet.

He further tweeted:"I pray for the safety & wellbeing of those in areas affected by floods in parts UP, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan & MP: PM @narendramodi," PM Modi said.

The Ganga yesterday crossed the danger mark in West Bengal, Bihar and neighbouring districts of Uttar Pradesh, where the Yamuna is also in spate, while heavy rainfall has created a flood-like situation in some parts of Rajasthan where six persons have died.
