The relief work throughout the county is in a mess, there is no co-ordination between different agencies and hence there is gross mismanagement. It is hampering relief work. It will be proper if UN relief agencies are allowed to distribute relief materials. The thana level government agencies should distribute relief materials and each thana should have representatives of UN relief agencies to supervise the distribution of relief materials to the bulk of the population.

Otherwise, there cannot be fair distribution of relief materials and it will never reach the poor and the needy, but will only fill up the pockets of the middlemen.
