I just hope our respected CM is aware of damage caused by nisarga cyclone in other parts like in ratnagiri. And i just hope we people also will get help from other fund if this declared fund is only for raigad. In Ratnagiri mandangad and dapoli areas are equally affected due to same. Such disasters rarely happened in konkan and people are not used to it. So it is definately very tough time for us. And we required monitory help very badly. I hope this declared and non declared fund will reach their ultimate destination safely. And our CM will review this whole by revisiting our konkan specially affected areas.
