Patna: The Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation, CPI-ML, launched a relief fund collection drive in Phulwari Sharif to aid people affected by the devastating floods in Bihar and Nepal. Led by CPI-ML Block Secretary Gurdev Das, party workers gathered contributions from citizens and shopkeepers in Phulwari Sharif. Prominent party members including Sadhu Saran Prasad, Devi Lal Paswan, Sarifa Manjhi, and Bhola Chaudhary also participated in the initiative.

Gurdev Das highlighted that the floods have ruined the lives of many, and the CPI-ML is appealing for public cooperation to provide all possible assistance to the affected families during this crisis. He affirmed that the party is committed to helping flood victims through this relief fund collection.

Das criticized the NDA government, alleging its failure to find a permanent solution to the flood problem and to deliver adequate relief to those impacted. He claimed irregularities in flood relief distribution, with complaints emerging about relief being disbursed based on outdated lists. He further stated that during an inspection in Punpun, numerous fraudulent names were reportedly found in the relief beneficiary list. Similar issues are alleged in Phulwari Sharif, where genuine flood victims are scarce on the list, while many fake names have purportedly been included.

Gurdev Das demanded a thorough investigation into the matter, identification of actual flood-affected families, and timely provision of relief to them. He emphasized that the relief distribution process in disaster situations must be transparent to ensure that aid reaches deserving families.
