IRCON donates Rs 50 lakh for J&K flood victims 2/5/2015 10:30:49 PM Early Times Report New Delhi, Feb 5: An amount of Rs.50 lakh towards Jammu & Kashmir flood relief was donated here today through Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS in PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh by the representatives of IRCON International Limited, a Government of India undertaking. A delegation of IRCON officials led by General Manager Veer Narayan formally handed over the cheque to Dr Jitendra Singh in the presence of Senior BJP leader Sanjiv Sharma. While acknowledging the gesture, Dr Jitendra Singh appreciated the initiative of IRCON officials and said that even though the Central Government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been very liberal and prompt in providing every kind of support to rescue, relief and rehabilitation work in the aftermath of unprecedented floods in the State, the voluntary agencies and philanthropists from across the country and abroad have also made a laudable contribution for this noble cause. In this regard, among others, he recalled the donation of 7 lakh USD made by American business tycoon and philanthropist Bill Gates.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
