City Marwaris to help 200 families hit by Chennai floods

As many as 200 families hit by the Chennai deluge will receive financial assistance from two city-based NGOs run by the Marwari community.
NGO Marwaris in Thane Welfare president Summan Agrawal told reporters here today that her and another NGO Supriya Foundation, both run by Marwaris, will give financial aid to 200 families affected by the unprecedented rainfall in Chennai recently.
She said the aid will be transferred online directly into the bank account of the beneficiaries during the 5th Rajasthan Mahostav to be held this weekend here.
The total amount of the aid was, however, not disclosed.
Besides, around 20 families of drought-affected farmers from the state would also be given assistance, she said.
