On the day of the concert, cash, wearable clothes, emergency medicine, rice, pulse, salt, oil, etc food boxes will be collected for the flood victims, food saline and food containers from corporate establishments, water purification tablets etc.
Proceeds from the concerts, cash collected and materials received go to the Get Up Stand Up Or the anti-discrimination students’ relief fund will be distributed to help and rehabilitate the flood victims, said the organisers.
According to the organisers, the people of the flood-affected areas are the victims of the disaster today. They may have lived a good life a few days ago. But now they have to smell the relief by being victims of disaster. Flood damage is difficult to quantify. “But we can support them with the things they need to survive.”
