JAMMU, Aug 31: Jammu Kashmir Democratic Front (JKDF) has collected Rs 6,50,000 during their week long campaign for collection of donation for “Kishtwar Welfare Fund”.
While speaking, JKDF State president Anil Gupta said that the step has been taken to express solidarity with the traders and other victims of communal riots after Government failed to provide instant relief despite passing of several days. Till today, no relief has been provided to the sufferers who have been virtually uprooted and lost their all the livings. The entire approach to set the things right seems to be casual one and there is little seriousness to apply balm to the victims of the wrath, he added.
With the overwhelming response from the public, total donations slightly over Rs 650000 stands collected by JKDF during this week long campaign, Gupta informed.
The sealed donation boxes were opened in presence of eminent civil society members including Satpal Grover, Ved Prakash Sharma, president, Brahaman Sabha and Sham Langer, senior vice president, Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
These donations will be handed over to Beopar Mandal Kishtwar tomorrow for further distribution to victims of this unfortunate incident.
On the occasion, all the activists of JKDF along with the senior leaders of State, Youth and Ladies wing were also present.
