Relief operations and helicopters
Tapader Md Khalilur Rahman, Kazipara, Mirpur, Dhaka
Most parts of the country are under water. People are struggling to survive. They are dying due to snake bites and diarrhoea. It is very difficult to find a dry land to bury the dead bodies. At this critical moment, none should ask for a thing that is not affordable. NGOs have asked for helicopters to conduct relief works. The finance minister has given a suitable reply-- we cannot spend Tk 30,000/= for transporting 10kg rice. This is an idea to fly and observe the situation from the top. This is not an idea to care about and share the sufferings of the people. NGOs should be advised to procure by themselves country boats and come to the rescue of flood victims. We do not want them to do business through selling their cheap ideas, which we have so long been purchasing at a very high price.
