Misappropriation of Flood Aid !!

This is totally Pathetic.

We collect the items with difficulty and send it with an expectation to reach the needy and this is the result.

These fellows should be stoned to death.....

we cannot let the people take the law onto their hands!!! if the DS has misappropriated Flood aid then he must be dealt with by the law!!! but if they have got little aid it is a separate issue!!

The people should have given this same treatment to those who robbed Tsunami funds as well!

Without evidence to prove, based on rumor? The thugs should be caught and jailed, there is no place for mob rule.
