Only 197 families out of a mere 4,716 families have received the relief package. She has directed the department to deploy all the officers and make sure that relief aid is been transferred to the affected families by Monday.The letter issued to the department reads, “I was shocked to find that, out of 4,716 families who were staying in relief camps during the flood, only 197 families have received the ₹10,000 ex gratia relief of the Delhi Government,” she wrote.She pointed out that the Chief Secretary on July 15 ordered senior officials to monitor and assist the District Administration for rescue, relief, and rehabilitation works, but even after 10 days of the cabinet decision to give ₹ 10,000 as relief to affected families, “19 IAS and 18 DANICs officers – along with 6 DMs, 6ADMs and 1 SDMs – have not been able to process this relief package for a mere 4,716 families”.“Given the number of officers deployed for flood relief and rehabilitation, each of these officers had to process the relief for 70 families. This means they had to provide relief to 7 families per day, and that too has not been done. Such laxity is absolutely shocking,” Atishi added to the letter.It is to be noted here that Yamuna Riven flowing from Delhi had reached the danger mark few days back, creating the flood like situation in Delhi, leaving many people stranded.
