Claim: Rs. 10,000 flood relief given recently to the flood victims in Hyderabad by the State Government is actually financed from the Rs. 550 crores flood aid released by the Central Government.
Fact-check: Central Government hasn't provided any additional assistance for the Hyderabad Floods so far - FACTLY
Verdict: the central government has released rs. 448 crores as part of its share of sdrmf to telangana. this is a statutory obligation upon the central government, and it releases funds to every state irrespective of a disaster. however, the 2nd instalment of this fund is released to only a few states and telangana is one among these few states. apart from this, no additional assistance has been released to the state related to the recent floods. however, a central team has visited the flood-hit hyderabad to assess the loss. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
