A total of 5,000 kits, costing Rs 4,500,000, have been prepared under the initiative of District Magistrate Durga Shakti Nagpal, with support from the corporate sector, entrepreneurs, and voluntary organisations.

Each kit, valued at approximately Rs 900, includes a mosquito net, an umbrella, a torch with batteries, two packets of sanitary pads, and a two-litre thermos for storing hot water.

The kits are being provided in addition to the financial assistance, compensation, and relief supplies already distributed by the state government. Priority has been given to destitute women, persons with disabilities, and elderly residents over 70 years of age in all flood-affected villages across the district’s five tehsils: Sadar, Nighasan, Dhaurahra, Gola Gokarannath, and Palia.

On Thursday, District Magistrate Nagpal, accompanied by MLA Yogesh Verma, distributed the kits to residents in Sadar tehsil. The administration has assured that more special CSR kits will be prepared if needed to reach additional flood victims.
