Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has thanked the actor couple of Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh for contributing INR 25 lakh towards Chief Minister Relief Fund for Maharashtra floods.
Fadnavis on Monday tweeted a photograph of the couple handing over the cheque to the minister.
"Thank you Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh for the contribution of INR 25,00,000/- (INR 25 lakh) towards CM Relief Fund for Maharashtra floods," Fadnavis wrote.
The gigantic Koyna Dam, with its reservoir spread across 890sqkm and a capacity of 100 TMC, was filled up by half or more than 50 TMC in only nine days this year.
A staggering 3.78 lakh people have been shifted to 432 temporary relief camps set up by the Maharashtra government in flood-hit Sangli, Kolhapur and Satara districts.
