"They (donors) have contributed the amount saved by forgoing their meals and it is not to be squandered," he said and expressed the commitment that such abominable acts would not be allowed.

No partiality and irregularities would be tolerated in the distribution of the relief amount and materials meant for the earthquake victims, the PM reiterated, adding that the government was also seriously following whether the collected relief amount and the received relief materials have gone to the quake victims.
