The Home Ministry said Inter-Ministerial Central Teams were sent to flood-affected States of Assam, Mizoram, Kerala, Tripura, Nagaland, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Manipur for an on-the-spot assessment of the damages.  The teams will be sent shortly to make an on-the-spot assessment of damage in Bihar and West Bengal, which have also recently been affected by floods. After the assessment reports of the teams are received, additional financial assistance from NDRF will be approved to the disaster-affected states.
