Asserting that Prime Minister  Narendra Modi was concerned about Jammu and Kashmir, Union  Home Minister Rajnath Singh today assured "maximum possible  assistance" to the victims of the last year's devastating  floods.   


"I want to assure the state government of maximum  possible assistance for relief and rehabilitation in future as  well. The PM is also concerned about Jammu and Kashmir," Singh told reporters here after paying obeisance at the holy cave shrine of Amarnath.


Responding to a question about the recent package of Rs 1600 crore for flood victims, Singh said the Central  government does not provide the entire assistance in one go.


"It is given in instalments. We have given some (money), it  should be spent first," he said.      


The Home Minister said the Centre is very sensitive  towards Jammu and Kashmir and acted quickly soon after the  floods hit the state in September last year.
