Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday announced that an amount of Rs 10,000 will be transferred to the bank accounts of every person in the relief camps in the state. These include those who will leave relief camps and also those who have already left.

Torrential rains followed by devastating floods wreaked the southern coastal state claiming more than 400 lives, displaced hundreds of thousands and caused huge damage to properties. The state incurred a loss of about Rs 19,512 crore.

CM Vijayan has also urged people impacted by the floods to submit to the government details of the losses they have suffered. Vijayan told that the flood victims could log on to the Kerala government website and provide the details. He said NGOs were going around taking pictures of the material losses on mobile apps.
