KOLLAM: Revenue Minister K.P.Rajendran has urged the Centre to grant Rs 500 crore for conducting the relief works by considering the increasing incidents of natural calamities in the state.Inaugurating the disaster relief centre at the Collectorate under the UNDP scheme here on Friday, the Minister said that the state would prepare a comprehensive programme for the same in the presence of Union Minister Mullappalli Ramachandran on June 30. The fund provided by the Centre for the relief works is quite inadequate.
