Disruption to communications in Garo Hills means that requests for aid are not reaching the authorities and other Good Samaritans, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said today.
“The BJP wants to donate rice, medical supplies and clothes to the disaster affected areas in South Garo Hills and other parts but failure to communicate is causing more problems in reaching out to the administration and the villagers,” Tura MDC Bernard Marak said.
Electricity and mobile connectivity has been down for nearly a week, cutting off many villages entirely, he added while calling for all efforts to be focused on providing help and not highlighting failures.
