Kochi: UAE extends Rs 700 crore assistance to help rebuild flood-hit Kerala


Kochi, Aug 21(DC): United Arab Emirates (UAE) has extended Rs 700 crore as financial assistance to rebuild flood-ravaged Kerala, Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced on Tuesday.

At least 357 people have lost their lives due to floods and landslides triggered by torrential rains in the state.

The Centre has declared the devastating floods in Kerala a "calamity of severe nature".

"We are slowly winding down rescue operations and concentrating on relief and rehabilitation," E Chandrashekaran, Kerala's revenue minister said, adding that about 95 per cent of people affected have been rescued and put up in relief camps.

"We are hoping to reach out to everyone by end of day today," Chandrashekaran said.

The UAE has been one of the first countries to offer solidarity with the people in Kerala. "The people of Kerala have always been and are still part of our success story in the UAE," UAE's vice president Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum told on Twitter recently. 

The UAE is home to several people from Kerala who have moved there.

"The people of Kerala have always been and are still part of our success story in the UAE," the vice president tweeted. 

Efforts are being made to rebuild the state from the devastating floods said to be the worst in a century. 

Various states, ministers, lawyers and judges, government officials are donating generously to bring Kerala back to life.

    UAE offers 700 Crores and Modi offers 500 Crores to the people of Kerala. Assocham has estimated the total loss at 20000 crores.

    500 Crores offered by Modi are just peanuts. Ronaldo offered 77 Crores.

    This pittance of central aid defies common sense.

    Hi Guys,

    Appreciate good work done by anyone & don't limit your self just for the party, caste or religion..

    Either its 500 Cr & 700 Cr its timely help for rebuilding Kerala which is in bad state. Indian Army & Locals are doing good job too.

    At the same time, foreign funds come because of cordial relation which is been maintained with another country. Indian population at middle east & International relation which Modi maintained is equally responsible for this timely help from UAE.

    Lets stop criticizing just for hailing some one & vice versa....

    Let us not debate or fight on political grounds when we are in this time, where Kerala and Kodagu needs collective effort to rebuild their lost properties and livelihood.

    At this time we should stop blame game and concentrate only on relief, rehabilitation and moral support for the people of Kerala and Kodagu.

    An industrialist donated one lakh to a cause and next day, one paper reported that he donated one million. He asked the newspaper and they apologised and said they would correct and report that it was one lakh and not one million. Industrialist said not to do it and said he would give remaining amount. Now, after this 700 cr aid, Modi may announce some bigger amount, but it will be to save his face and not for the love of Kerala people.

    He did not study economics. Citizens of India feel pity on this Prime Minister who is roaming to forcing countries for FDI's which didn't come inside however jobless have been grown inside.

    The flight-related expenses alone of the Gujju-bhai for his foreign jaunts cost Rs 1,484 crores.

    The other expenses might be twice as this.

    However, for something where hundreds have died, at least a million have sought shelter, various epidemics are looming, the Gujju-bhai's Government initially announced just a 100 crore. Then, after the Gujju-bhai satisfied himself with an photographer-accompanied aerial survey, he announced another 500 crores.

    Now we find UAE, a foreign country, providing 700 crores.

    In my view, probably those NRI keralites wish to donate honorable CM' Pinarayi's flood relief fund must do it thru their Hindustan's bank account..,

    Coz., any money coming/remitted from overseas bank account will be scrutinized by the Union Home Ministry on various FEMA & RBI forex compliance rules & laws..., may potentially delay the ultimate beneficiaries....,

    It is equally important ..., as we need less to say that the love towards Gods own country by the Union Govt., is better known to the people of the states & our honorable CM., The point here is the bureaucratic interaction should not become interference.,

    There is a history to re-call that whenever honorable CM of Kerala vist Delhi..., despite making an honest effort didn't get opportunity to meet our present honorable PM of Hindustan for one or the other reason...,

When you go to a hospital for a injury first they will provide first aid then they will assess your condition and they will see if operation is required, no hospital will take you directly for operation without first aid ...

    Thanks to the donors for their golden heart and humanity ! but one question is remain unanswered ? is this money goes to real cause or some mediators will misuse the most ! we need accountability of the money given from generous donors which should not be miss-utilized or disappeared.

    That's the power of modiji. He bring in money from any parts of the world due to his diplomatic connection. It's only happen after 2014.

    Yes... You are right... Before 2014 our Country need not have to beg for money to battle these type of situation... India economy was good...
    But after 2014 Modi ruined our economy... So now centre doesn't have money... First they gave 100 crores.. Then 400 crores... Even though demand was more...
    Now we can assume Why foreign countries are helping India...
    We salute Modi for begging money from foreign countries and arranging the money...

    Maniar, Surathkal. What you think Keralites went to the UAE only after 2014. They are in UAE or Middle east since decades.

    Do not think Modi did any magic by the way which Modi are you referring to.

    Keralites are a part of the UAE you can find them in all levels of UAE society. They are drivers, managers, teachers, CEO's etc. The rulers of UAE are just helping them. Did UAE help Tamil Nadu when there were floods in Tamil Nadu what happened to Modi's diplomatic connection then.

    Waa manga odhu undhen.. Message of true leader.. The UAE has been one of the first countries to offer solidarity with the people in Kerala. "The people of Kerala have always been and are still part of our success story in the UAE," UAE's vice president Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum had tweeted recently.

    It’s fun to read all the comments.
    There are Millions of Keralite loosing a job in Middleest Including USE
    and still praising Middleeast for the donation they offered.
    Did they give any citizen ship to any malayalis who gave blood and sweat to their economy nor do they have any respect to mallus lol
    You guys re like beggars ,,when one guy gave 2 rs yu start praising hi and if another come and give 3 rs u start abusing the one who gave 2 and praise 3
    Typical malls mentality
    No matter how much Indian govt released a fund. It’s ongoing relief and constructive work.
    Indian govt needs to build highways and other major infrastructure and we Karnataka people needs to provide job to Mallus in Bangalore and Mangalore not your Sheik lol
