The
minister had tweeted from his twitter handle @KTRTRS: “Through CMRF so far,
more than 1.2 lakh families have received assistance in emergency situations.
Nearly Rs 800 crore has been spent in the last 46 months. Those who would like
to contribute can write a cheque to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, Telangana
state.”
“Can we include online payments for
CMRF sir? Why not have TWallet be taken as a gateway for contributing to CMRF?
Please think over,” suggested a citizen from the twitter handle @bajjiladeva.

Phase
02) Once the percentage of donations through TWallet QR Code increase to 65%,
the physical donation boxes be withdrawn.
In
the initial weeks, wide publicity will motivate pilgrims to donate through
