Delwar urges govt to help flood-hit farmers

Tuesday, 25 September 2007


The government has been urged to distribute adequate fertilisers, seeds and pesticides among the flood-hit farmers so that they could overcome the losses.
BNP Secretary General Khondoker Delwar Hossain made the appeal while distributing relief goods among the flood victims at Uttar Jatrabari in the city Monday, reports UNB.
He also urged the government to undertake massive post-flood rehabilitation programmes to recoup the damages caused by the monsoon floods that hit the country twice.
The BNP leader distributed relief among 300 families at Uddipan School compound in Bibir Bagicha in the afternoon under the auspices of Jatrabari BNP.
Talking to reporters, Delwar also suggested distribution of foods among the poor through vulnerable group feeding (VGF) cards on regular basis to assuage the people's misery in the wake of price-hike and lack of employment.
The BNP secretary general said that at the instruction of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, he distributed the relief goods and this would continue in the flood-affected areas across the country.
