In view of the extensive damages caused by heavy rainfall, landslides and flashfloods across the State and in order to ensure smooth, equitable and accountable distribution of relief materials, it is hereby conveyed to all NGOs, Church Organizations, Civil Based Organisations and well-wishers that at the district level all relief and rescue operations will be coordinated only through the respective District Disaster Management Authority.

Further, all individuals, NGOs and organizations intending to provide relief in cash or kind may contact and route their assistance through the office of the Chairman, DDMA. For any assistance and coordination, the contact details for each DDMA are enclosed herewith in the annexure.

This is necessitated to avoid duplication, and to ensure that the relief items reach to all the affected families and villages.

This may be treated as most urgent and compliance ensured by all concerned.
