Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said that the central government has approved Rs 1,066.80 crore for flood and landslide-affected states. The funds will be released as the central share under the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF). The financial assistance will benefit the states of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Kerala, and Uttarakhand — regions that have recently faced severe challenges due to heavy rainfall, floods, landslides, and cloudbursts, Shah added.
