At the NDTV-Tata Sky 6-Hour #IndiaForKerala telethon, Kerala's Finance Minister Thomas Isaac said that the state is suffering from large-scale economic damage. Damage to crops, loss of income for labourers and tourism industry coming to a standstill has hurt the state's economy. Over Rs 3,000 crore is required to rebuild people's livelihoods in the state, Mr Isaac said. Mr Isaac also said that over Rs 10,000 crore is needed to fix the state's roads and that Kerala was trying to put together resource mobilisation programme to address the huge economic loss incurred by the state.
