The administration is also engaged in relief work with full force. Relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction work is in progress. Relief distribution work is going on fast among the affected. Immediate ration and food grains have been managed. Temporary accommodation is also being arranged. The assessment of crop damage is being done. A detailed assessment of the damage is yet to be done. The distribution of Rs 1.20 lakh has been started for each house destroyed in the floods. Chouhan gave this information in a discussion with media representatives at Smart Udyan.
Chouhan said that rehabilitation work is also going on. Electricity system has been restored in Sheopur district. Now only five villages are left with electricity restoration work.
