GUWAHATI, Aug 28 - The Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuva-Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) has demanded adequate measures to mitigate the miseries of the people affected in the recent wave of flood.
In a statement, AJYCP president Biraj Kumar Talukdar took serious note of the allegations that relief materials in most of the flood-hit areas had been stopped as soon as the people started leaving the camps.
�What will they eat? Where will they live? These questions need to be addressed properly,� said Talukdar. He, however, said that relief materials alone cannot help mitigate the miseries of the people in the post-flood scene.
According to him, �the Government, apart from the political parties, companies and organisations, should come forward to heal the wounds.�
Talukdar asked the government to provide the affected people with tools to ensure their livelihood. He said the flood-hit people should be properly guided to raise crops in the post-flood period to ensure sustainable income. �Let these people be given tools for livelihood which can help them compensate the loss,� said the AJYCP president.
AJYCP leaders and activists have been providing assistance to the people in many flood-hit areas. Talukdar said that they are prepared to provide more help and assistance in the near future.
