Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has thanked the Bollywood couple Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza for contributing Rs.25 lakh towards Chief Minister Relief Fund for Maharashtra floods. Mr Fadnavis tweeted a photograph of the couple on Monday over the cheque to the minister.
The gigantic Koyna Dam, with its reservoir, spread across 890sqkm and a capacity of 100 TMC, was filled up by a half or more than 50 TMC in only nine days this year. A staggering 3.78 lakh people have been shifted to 432 temporary relief camps set up by the Maharashtra government in flood-hit Sangli, Kolhapur and Satara districts.
