Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is on Thursday reviewing the condition of relief camps in Chengannur, Kozhencherry, Alappuzha, North Paravoor and Chalakudy. Over 10 lakh people, including 2.12 lakh women and 1 lakh children below 12 years of age, are taking shelter in 3,200 relief camps.
The CM’s review exercise comes a day after reports suggested that the government is not keen on accepting UAE’s Rs 700-crore financial assistance.  Vijayan, however, refused to be drawn into a controversy over it.
