More than Rs 30 million have been deposited to the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund on Friday itself.

Chairpersons and Chief Executive Officers of various government and private financial institutions met Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli at his office at Singha Durbar on Friday and handed over the checks as their institutional support to the fund.

"Rs 15 million was provided by the Agriculture Development Bank, Rs 5.1 million from the Citizen Investment Fund, Rs 2.5 million from the SBI Bank, Rs 3.1  million from the Life Insurance Corporation, Rs 2.5 million from the Nepal Infrastructure Development Bank, Rs 1.5 million from the Oriental Insurance, and Rs. 5.1 million by the CIMEX INC (BYD)," said the PDRF. 

On this occasion, Prime Minister Oli thanked the contributors and expressed hope that the support received in the fund would contribute to the distribution of relief to the flood survivors.

A meeting of the Council of Ministers last Monday had decided to initially deposit Rs one billion in the fund from the government side.

The fund is getting enriched from other organizations and individuals, the Prime Minister's Secretariate said.
