Earlier health minister K K Shailaja had contributed a month’s salary to CMDRF. On Monday the staff in the offices of the chief minister and the health minister come forward offering their salaries to the relief fund.

In a message posted on his social media handles, the CM on Sunday said if ‘Malayalis’ across the world came together to address the crisis, money would not be an issue in rebuilding Kerala.

Following this, a number of people have come forward to donate their salaries to the CM’s relief fund which would be used to rebuild the Gods Own Country.

All government employees of Tamil Nadu were also donating a day’s salary to the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF), which would come to approximately Rs 200 crore.
