Pay cash relief to flood-hit people: Congress to Fadnavis

Slaminig the state for its decision to deposit compensation for the flood-affected people in their bank accounts, the Congress on Saturday wrote to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, demanding that the people be given cash.
Sachin Sawant, general secretary and spokesperson of Congress, said the affected people would not get the financial assistance on time as the flood situation is serious and the banks have holidays for a few days.
“Earlier, financial assistance was given through cash during natural calamities. But the government has decided to deposit the amount in individual bank accounts of the people. When so many lives have been destroyed, it is difficult for them to get passbooks and bank documents. Lakhs of people are still homeless,” said Sawant.
