## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI NITYANAND RAI)

(a) & (b): On  the  basis  of  forecast  bulletins  of  India  Meteorological

Department (IMD) on the Cyclone (Vayu) and on  the  requisition made by

## L.S.US.Q.NO 1586 FOR 02.07.2019

State  Government  of  Gujarat  /UT  of  Daman  and  Diu,  National  Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had deployed 52 teams (Gujarat - 47 teams and Diu - 05 teams) as proactive deployment.

(c)  &  (d):    On  12.06.2019  Union  Home  Secretary  chaired  a  high  level meeting to review the preparedness of State and Central Ministries/Agencies concerned to deal with the situation arising out of Cyclone  'VAYU'.  Senior  officers  from  the  Ministries  of  Home  Affairs, Power,  Defence,  Health  &  Family  Welfare,  Communication,  National Disaster  Management Authority (NDMA), IMD and NDRF participated in this  meeting.    Chief  Secretary,  Government  of  Gujarat  and  Advisor  to Administrator,  Daman  &  Diu  participated  through  Video  conference. Since  adequate  funds  were  available  in  State  Disaster  Response  Fund (SDRF)  in  Gujarat,  no  additional  fund  was  allocated  by  the  Central Government. Cyclone 'Vayu'' had weakened from 'Very Severe' Cyclonic storm to a 'Well-marked low pressure area' when it crossed Kutch/north Gujarat coast, hence, there was no requirement of rescue operation in the State of Gujarat.

(e) & (g):  Information  on  the  various  assistance/ funds   allocated  and

## L.S.US.Q.NO 1586 FOR 02.07.2019

spent by various Departments/ agencies towards the victims of natural calamities is not maintained centrally by this Ministry, since distribution of assistance on the ground is the responsibility of the State concerned in accordance with the magnitude of the ground situation.

However, financial assistance is provided to the affected States from State  Disaster  Response  Fund  (SDRF)  and  National  Disaster  Response Fund  (NDRF)  as  per  laid  down  procedure.  The  guidelines  and  norms relating  to  SDRF/  NDRF  are  available  on  the  website  of  this  Ministry; https://www.ndmindia.nic.in.

State-wise  details  of  allocation  and  releases  from  SDRF  and  NDRF during the last three years and current are given in Annexure.
