No estimate of total damage or of the total amount necessary for the work of reconstruction can be given at present as the damage to drainage and soil fertility is not yet known. The damage to Government property is estimated at one crore, that to the property of local bodies at 1¼ crore and that to private urban property at two crores. The number of lives reported as lost was 7,252, but the total number was probably larger. No towns were completely destroyed. I am sending the hon. Member a printed report which indicates on pages 6 and 7 the extent of the destruction in the towns that suffered most. The total amount raised by voluntary effort up to the 10th September was approximately £690,000, in addition to goods to the value of £24,750. As regards funds, these, in so far as they are being supplied from official sources, are being provided, as usual, by the Central and Provincial Governments in India. As regards assistance from the Central Government, I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the speech of the Finance Member of the Government of India when he introduced the Budget. Some further information is given on pages 16 to 18 of the printed report I have already mentioned.
