Home Minister Amit Shah took a significant decision and said that Inter-Ministerial Central Team will be made after a natural calamity without waiting for the memorandum from the concerned state.

The Home Ministry will immediately constitute and send IMCTs to the states which have been affected by floods such as Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Meghalaya, Tripura, Bihar, Uttrakhand and Kerala. A Home Ministry release said on Tuesday that the High-level committee which was chaired by Shah in the wake of any severe calamity reviewed the existing practice of deputing an IMCT after the receipt of the memorandum from the state.
