Patna, Sept 11 : Reliance Industries Ltd on Wednesday donated Rupees 110 million aid to flood victims of Bihar.

" This contribution is symbolic of our sympathy and deep commitment to elevate the hardships to the unfortunate victims from the havoc of the Kosi River," Neeta Ambani said.
With the flood waters receding, the focus has shifted from rescue and relief to checking outbreak of disease and rehabilitation. The state government has ordered a judicial inquiry into river Kosi embankment breach.

The catastrophe has taken a toll of over 90 lives and more than three million people have been displaced.
