Digital Desk: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has stated that each family affected by the recent round of floods in the state will receive Rs 10,000 in financial assistance.

Kejriwal tweeted this information on Sunday. Additionally, he stated that special camps will be set up for people whose crucial papers had been swept away by the floodwaters.

"Many very poor families living on the banks of Yamuna have suffered a lot. In some families, the entire household goods were washed away. Ten thousand rupees per family will be given as financial help to every flood-affected family. Special camps will be organized for those whose papers like Aadhaar cards etc. have been washed away. The children whose clothes and books were washed away, will be given these on behalf of the schools," tweeted Kejriwal.

The Delhi government has also declared that schools in the flood-affected region will be shuttered through July 18. This choice is being made as flood relief camps are expected to continue operating in schools in Yamuna River bordering communities.

On July 17 and 18, all public, publicly aided, and privately recognised schools in the impacted districts of East, North East, North West-A, North, Central, and South East Delhi will be closed.
