Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu announced on Wednesday that the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund has amassed contributions totalling Rs 400 crore. These donations, from political parties, film personalities, social organisations, and other entities, are intended to support flood victims in the state.

CM Naidu highlighted the enthusiastic response to the government’s relief efforts, mentioning that the collection far exceeds what any other state might achieve in similar circumstances. ‘People have responded enthusiastically. Rs 400 crore came as donations to the CM Relief Fund, any other state wouldn’t have got this much. This is the highest,’ he remarked while addressing officials at the NTR district collectorate.
