According to sources Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan took to face book to urge Malayalee’s across the globe to consider donating their one month’s salary to the Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF). Meanwhile when echoing the Chief Minister’s post, Kerala Governor P Sathasivam too urged those ‘holding high offices’ in the state to contribute their salaries to the relief efforts, after having given one month’s salary to the efforts himself.
Moreover following this, a number of people have come forward to contribute their salaries to the CM’s relief fund which would be used to rebuild the state. Accordingly the Kerala State General Education Secretary, A Shahjahan, was among the first to donate a month’s salary towards the relief measures. Further the list of contributors also includes minister Mercy Kuttiamma, State Police Chief and Director General of Police of Kerala Loknath Behera, Advocate General CP Sudhakara Prasad as well as Opposition MLAs Thiruvanjoor Radhakrishnan, Anwar Sadath and VS Shivakumar.

Secretariat Employees Association and all the employees in the office of the
state Health Minister KK Shailaja too donated their salaries to the CM’s fund.
