Region facing a number of natural disasters in the last few years, says official
A special Konkan disaster mitigation programme worth ₹3,200 crore was approved by the Maharashtra Cabinet on Wednesday.
The decision to implement the project was taken in the wake of successive natural calamities including the recent cyclone Tauktae which caused large-scale destruction across the region’s coastline.
While ₹2,000 crore will be spent through the State disaster mitigation fund, the rest will be spent over the next four years through the State funds. A special plan will be prepared for capacity building and preparedness which will also target adequate and comprehensive use of the fund.
