Congress workers from Bhopal Madhya Assembly constituency of the city staged demonstration at state assembly over distribution of rotten ration to the flood victims of the state capital and handed over a memorandum addressed to chief minister demanding early compensation to flood victims.
The Congress workers led by former Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) spokesman Arif Masood gathered in front of lily Talkies where a public meeting was also held before handing over the memorandum addressed to the chief minister along with a rotten wheat bag to the SDM.
Masood in his address before the thick gathering on the occasion said, “Chief Minister went among the flood victims for getting his pictures clicked but has not provided them compensation till now. While the survey going on for the flood victims is also partisan and the ration distributed to the flood victims was rotten that too with mud mixed in it. We demand a compensation of Rs 50, 000 for all the victims and the ongoing partisan survey should immediately be stopped and fresh survey of all the flood affected colonies should be ordered and comprehensive arrangements of cleaning in all flood affected areas of the state capital should be done.”
Masood further said that piles of garbage have been collected at many areas of the city due to that risk of infectious diseases has increased hence arrangements for cleanliness should be made in those areas besides medical camps should be organized. “We also demand that arrangements of marriage for those girls should be made whose parents have lost their belongings in the floods,” he added.
Former MPCC secretary Abdul Nafees, Corporators Rafiq Qureshi, Shahwar Mansuri and Mewalal Kanerji and large numbers of Congress workers, women and followers of Masood were present on the occasion.
