The Allahabad High Court today directed district magistrates of all flood-affected districts in Uttar Pradesh to provide details of relief work undertaken in their respective areas of jurisdiction.
A division bench comprising Justices Arun Tandon and Sunita Agarwala passed the order on a PIL filed by one Devkant Verma who had alleged that several districts in the state were affected by floods and the condition in eight of these was serious.
The relief provided to the people by the administration, which included distribution of food and medicines, was inadequate, the petition said.
Passing the direction, the court fixed September 1 as the next date of hearing in the matter.
