The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has donated Rs 1 crore for immediate relief of flood-affected people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The financial assistance will be donated to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund from one day's salary of the employees of the civic body, NDMC chairperson Jalaj Shrivastava said.
"The people of Jammu & Kashmir are struggling these days from unprecedented natural calamity in the form of floods and landslides. There has been a long tradition of contribution by employees in NDMC for relief work whenever any such calamity occurred in any part of the country," he said.
The employees had also contributed one day's salary amounting to Rs 1.03 crore to the CM's Relief Fund for those affected by the 2013 flash floods and landslides in Uttarakhand, the chairperson said.
