Employees of Central government and central PSUs, outside Kerala are also donating one day salary to the Kerala Chief Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund. But his amount is directly taken in to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund. This is unwanted and unjustified. The central government should not try to rob what is given towards Kerala relief Fund.
The central government should change its policy and hand over the amount to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
