She stressed upon them to do survey that how many houseless families wanted to stay in temporary structures and how many wanted to stay in rental accommodation and submit a realistic report to her office within two days. She also informed that for their stay on rental accommodation, they would be given Rs 3500 per month within municipal limits and Rs 2500 per month in rural areas for four months.
She instructed all the Tehsildars that all the affected families should have 16 digit bank account numbers and those who are not having any bank account number, their bank accounts should be opened under Jan Dhan Yojna of the Govt.
She stressed upon all the Tehsildars that they should ensure that no affected families should stay in any tent, but they should be provided temporary/Govt structures/rental accommodation for their stay.
