People who have lost everything in flood have still been deprived of relief and other basic needs, alleged he.

Criticising the Udhampur district administration, he said despite the 2500 metric tonne of rice received from the Chhattisgarh government for flood victims, the administration failed to distribute it among the flood victims. He added that large amount of rice was destroyed due to the negligence of the district administration which left it unattended at the Udhampur railway station in rain for several days. He demanded a high-level probe into the matter.
