The Central government on Saturday approved additional funds to eight states that were affected by disasters last year with home minister Amit Shah clearing the path for the payment of Rs 5,751.27 crore under the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF).

The provision for NDRF has been made under the Disaster Management Act, a national law that allows the Center to declare the entire country or part of it as affected by a disaster and to make plans for mitigation to reduce “risks, impacts and effects” of the disaster.

DMA has also been invoked to mount a cohesive nationwide response to the Covid-19.
