ARA----------------------------CPI (ML) leader and former Mahagathbandhan supported candidate of Ara assembly Qayamuddin Ansari reached Pironta early this morning riding a tractor where on seeing the pitiable condition of flood victims he first tried to talk to the disaster officer but he did not pick up the phone.

CPI (ML) leader Qayamuddin Ansari talked to SDO Ara over phone for flood relief and also talked to District Officer over phone. In the conversation with the District Officer he said that you are running flood relief work in Barhara where dry ration, tarpaulin are being distributed but why are you keeping distance from the flood victims of Ara block? CPI (ML) leader Qayamuddin Ansari said that there is no arrangement of boats and no government flood relief anywhere in Pironta, Yadavpur, Pipra Jaipal, Nagapur, Chaumukha, Jagwalia, Tetriyan, Mathiya, Dhedhta of Pironta Panchayat.

The District Officer assured CPI (ML) leader Qayamuddin Ansari that flood relief work will be started soon in all the villages of Ara block.

CPI (ML) leader Qayamuddin Ansari said that we will wait for the flood relief work of the District Officer in Ara Assembly.

CPI (ML) leader Qayamuddin Ansari met the Mahadalit people who have taken shelter in Pironta School. They neither have food grains to eat nor a tarpaulin to live in. The ML leader said that the District Officer should take strict action against the Ara CO who is absconding during the disaster.

CPI (ML) leader Qayamuddin Ansari has demanded from the district administration that first of all the District Officer should declare Ara Sadar block as flood area and speed up the relief work.

CPI (ML) leader Qayamuddin Ansari met former Mukhiya Vijay Yadav, current Mukhiya's husband Guddu Yadav as well as common flood victims as well as CPI (ML) leader Harishankar Sah.
