TURA, Jan 5: The All Meghalaya Minority Students’ Union (AMMSU) on Tuesday alleged that flood relief items provided by the government to victims of Garo Hills floods last year have failed to reach some of the beneficiaries.
In its complaint with West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner Ram Singh, the AMMSU claimed that flood victims from several villages including those from Namabela, Horipur, Silkata, Sobribari, Konarchar, Char Kasiapara, Kasiripara, Lalmati, Hallidayganj and Sakmal are yet to receive the relief items.
The union has also sought the DC’s immediate intervention into the matter while exhorting him to ensure that the flood-affected people receive the relief at the earliest.
