"As the home minister of the country, I assure the public again that there is enough stock of food, medicines and other commodities in the country. No one should worry about that.
"I also request the affluent people to come forward and help the poor living nearby," he said.
Praising the role of the state governments, Shah said the way all the state governments are working with the central government is truly praiseworthy.
