Clinton meets govt representatives, NGOs

Former US president Bill Clinton Thursday took stock of the situation in Gujarat by holding meetings with state government representatives and non-government organisations.

Clinton, who visited the worst-affected Kutch district on Wednesday, held an interactive session with NGOs for about two hours on ways to utilise the money raised by the American-Indian Foundation, which he heads.

Later, Chief Minister Keshubhai Patel made a presentation to Clinton.

Clinton has said that the AIF planned to come out with a focused strategy aimed at, among other things, providing education to children and employment to the jobless.

There was chaos outside Hotel Taj Residency Ummed, the venue of the meeting, as a large number of journalists representing international, national and local media were denied entry.
