| New Delhi, Aug 30: Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Farooq Abdullah today gave Rs.50 lakh from his Member of Parliament Local Area Development fund (MPLAD) for relief work in the flood-ravaged Leh region of Jammu and Kashmir.
The former chief minister has donated the maximum permissible amount from the MPLAD scheme for the relief and rehabilitation of the flood-hit in Leh.
The minister has also requested the authorities to keep him informed about the sanction and implementation of the works there.
Flash floods triggered by a cloud burst on Aug 6 devastated large parts of Leh, the Ladakh region's largest town. At least 183 people were killed and 200 people are still missing. (IANS) |
