Times
of India: Mumbai: Saturday, 28 November 2015.
In times of
crying need, people, institutions and private corporations have been dashing
off charity cheques. It is evident from the rising balance in the chief
minister's relief fund, which has witnessed a 23-fold increase in its kitty:
the corpus was Rs 11 crore last November, and in a year has soared to Rs 264
crore.
Apart from
individuals, sugar factories, temple trusts, colleges and some housing
societies too have marshalled funds and sent large contributions to the CM's
kitty. The redeeming truth is that samaritans want to extend help, not just
believe that the government will mitigate the havoc wrought by the drought.
