Saptari flood victims await relief
As Tilathi falls under the election constituency of the Deputy PM Yadav, locals had burnt his effigy on Tuesday evening. People accused him of neglecting the people of his own constituency.
Talking to the ministers, locals had demanded that the government find a permanent solution to the flooding problem in the tarai and that temporary relief wouldn’t end their plight.
