Secretariat Correspondent: Relief and Disaster Management Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya urged rich people of the country to come forward during natural disaster including flood.

Maya made the call while addressing a discussion programme at his secretariat office in the capital on Thursday noon.  

The Minister said,"The government is working to face flood and waterlogging. The country has enough food reserves and there is no lack of medicine and relief goods."

Maya said that people in 24 districts affected in flood. Some seven thousands metric tonnes of rice were allotted for those of the districts.

He also said that it’s not possible for the ministry alone to face flood-waterlogging. If everyone comes forward to help then, it would be easier, he added.
