There are detailed guidelines for assessing the damage caused on account of natural calamities.

The Deputy Commissioners are requested to ensure that the proposals for relief sent by them are complete in regard to all the points listed in the checklist. It would enable us to release funds without any delay and without any back reference. The forms for submitting the proposals and the certificate to be recorded by the Deputy Commissioners with every proposal are enclosed herewith. The summary of instructions relating to relief is also annexed herewith for ready reference.
