The Telangana government is sending 50 water purifier machines costing Rs.2.5 crore to flood-hit Jammu and Kashmir.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said people in the flood-hit state were facing severe shortage of drinking water and in order to help them purify the available water for drinking purposes, the Telangana government was sending the machines.
The water purifier machines, each costing Rs.5 lakh, are being sent to Srinagar by a special aircraft from Hyderabad Sunday, said a statement from the Chief Minister's Office.
This is in addition to the Rs.10 crore financial aid already announced by Telangana for relief operations in Kashmir.
