Goa Water Resources Minister Vinod Palyekar said today that he would donate a month's salary towards the relief work in flood-hit Kerala.
The southern state is facing its worst floods in 100 years with all rivers in spate. The death toll there has touched 197 in the past 10 days in the second spell of monsoon fury since August 8.
Palyekar in a tweet said, "Deeply disturbed by the sufferings of our brothers and sisters in Kerala and as a small contribution towards resettling the lives back and aid in relief work, I have decided to donate my one month salary for Kerala relief work."
Earlier, Goa Tourism Minister Manohar Ajgaonkar said yesterday that he would donate a month's salary to the relief fund set up to help the flood-affected people in Kerala.
Ajgaonkar had also requested his colleagues to join in the effort to help the flood-ravaged state.
