The Home Minister added that the Prime Minister had also assured all possible assistance to the state government in dealing with the natural calamity. Mr. Singh said, he will discuss with the Prime Minister about giving a special package for rehabilitation of the village .

Meanwhile, chances of finding more survivors appeared slim, as fresh showers and bursts of torrential rain have made the task more difficult.
