Supported by its member companies, CII mobilised 20 tonnes of immediate relief worth Rs 1.2 crore, which were distributed in 21 locations. As the next step, rehabilitation had to be provided to those rendered homeless. As an initial step, 2 community tents, which could house 30 to 40 people each, were provided.
