New Delhi, July 11

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday introduced a monetary help of Rs 10 lakh every for the households of two Delhi residents killed in a cloudburst close to the Amarnath shrine in Jammu and Kashmir.

Flash floods triggered by heavy rain struck close to the shrine on July 8, leaving a minimum of 16 individuals useless and greater than 30 lacking.

“Delhi residents Birmati Ji and Prakashi ji died due to the cloudburst during the Amarnath Yatra. I just met their families. We will give an assistance of Rs 10 lakh to each family. We will arrange for good education for their children. And will help them in whatever way we can. May God give peace to their souls,” Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.

The annual 43-day yatra commenced from the dual base camps — conventional 48-km Nunwan-Pahalgam in south Kashmir’s Anantnag and 14-km shorter Baltal in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal — on June 30.

So far, over 1.13 lakh pilgrims have supplied prayers on the shrine, housing the naturally fashioned ice-shivlingam.

The yatra is scheduled to finish on August 11.
