Later speaking to the media, the Minister said that though the Collector has the authority to provide immediate financial relief he was still waiting for an approval from Pragathi Bhavan, "which is atrocious". He asked the Collector and the GHMC Commissioner to immediately visit the slum and provide relief to the affected.
