The state government has called reports of help from the European Union as ‘totally false and untrue’, saying that financial needs related to the storm were being covered by the NDRF and SDRF.
The Manipur government announced Wednesday that no non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been entrusted to carry out relief work in the state, strongly countering the European Union’s (EU) announcement that it will give 250,000 euros to its partners to help victims of a severe hailstorm that struck early May.
According to a statement from Chief Secretary Vineet Joshi, the European Union (EU) and its humanitarian partners did not provide any support in the state.
He stated that all financial needs related to the recent storm were addressed using the available National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF).
