Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Friday said the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Rs 1,000 crore package for Gujarat after it was hit by cyclone Tauktae, it would have been appropriate if similar assistance was given to other states affected by it.

Talking to reporters here, Pawar said, "Although the cyclone turned towards Gujarat, parts of Mumbai, Palghar, Thane and districts in Konkan were also impacted by it, and instructions to district collectors and guardian ministers were immediately given for assessment of losses."
