Seema claimed that she did not get any other help from the government except a plastic tarpaulin and a packet of milk. He said that he was also not warned in advance about the rising water level of the Yamuna. Seema said that in the past the police used to warn us before the flood, but this time no one asked us to come out of the houses and now the whole colony is submerged in water. The government says a lot but does not give us anything. We got only a tarpaulin and a packet of milk. They said that they (government officials) came on Saturday and wrote down our names, took all the information, but have not done anything so far. He alleged that the government talks about giving houses to slum dwellers, but it is trying to remove us from here. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced special relief measures including accommodation, food, water and toilets for the affected people on Sunday.
