Contributors to flood relief camps are hell-bent on sending cooked food, which does not meet the critical needs of shelter and clothes and seems to go down really badly with the North Karnataka palate
Here's a case of help gone wrong. Individuals, clubs, and associations, have come forward to send contributions for flood victims, but their efforts of sending prepared food is going waste.
"Food is prepared according to the needs of the victims and we don't need prepared food from contributors," said home Minister V S Acharya, who is monitoring the relief operations in the city.
He added that the critical needs include rebuilding houses and clothes.
"We are requesting people to contribute to the relief fund, so that we can meet the requirement effectively," added Acharya.
