Former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has decided to donate his one month's salary towards the relief work in flood-hit Kerala.
Tuki, who is the present MLA of Sagalee, shot off a letter to the secretary of the state Assembly yesterday to remit his August salary to the account of Kerala Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund.
The former CM said his small approach would help at least a few aggrieved people in Kerala, who are in dire need of financial support.
The southern state is facing its worst flood in 100 years. The heavy rains and consequent floods have claimed 231 lives since August 8, besides causing an estimated loss of Rs 20,000 crore to the state.
Mourning the demise of the flood victims, Tuki said, "At this hour of grief and sorrow, I joined the rest of the nation to pay homage and condolences to the bereaved families.
