They can keep what percentage they want but the homes that are destroyed has to be built.
The schools are the most hit,guess another round for contractors and Engineers to cash in.
Latest heard they are celebratin the Earthquake with all the MLAs and miniSTERS.
I AM SURE THAT THE RELIEF SUM Rs1000 CR FROM CENTRAL GOVERNMENT WILL WHOLLY BE USED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE EARTHQUAKE AFFECTED PUBLIC, INFRASTRUCTURE AND AREAS WHICH NEED URGENT FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
im not sure govt will use whole money.money crazy politicians may be divide these money for their next elections savings.good for them but not good for public.
DAVIDRAJ RAI Sir,
Thank you for the positive comment. All comment should always be positive. But b4 giving comment all should know the ground reality. 1st – u know that all our politicians and bureaucrats are crore patis. What are sources of that money ? Not only this time, in the past also State govt. has received funds from central as well as other funding agencies. Do you hope that all funds in the past and present received are utilised 100% for welfare of public ? If Yes, than how they bcame crore patis ? Have u seen Sikkim Mahaloot ? What are sources of property shown in Sikkim Mahaloot ? Why there are still more than 5000 families under BPL category ?
