Relief Committee comprised of MNAs, MPAs, Senators and District officers.

"The process of registration of flood affected people of the district has almost completed under the supervision of RC members", he added.
Malani said that the ration bags had been provided to the flood affected people of the district especially those who were in camps established by the RC of the Mithi district.
