LAHORE: The Jamaate-Islami (JI) has called for transparent distribution of government aid among the flood-affected people, demanding action over reports of mismanagement and corruption in the relief funds and goods.

Addressing a press conference at Mansoorah here on Friday, JI acting chief Liagaut Baloch highlighted the issue of lack of coordination in flood relief work at the government level.

`There is a dire need to prepare a national action plan and an effective network for relief services comprising federal, provincial and district governments and other stakeholder institutions,` he says.

Through a well-connected network to cope with the natural disasters, he says, the administrative expenditures could be saved, ensuring quick service delivery for theflood-affected.

Baloch thanked the international community for providing the aid and appealed for adoption of the `Madina model` of brotherhood at the nationallevel.

He says the floods affected some 35 million people in the country, `while Allah Almighty saved 185m others from the calamity and it is a test and challenge for the latter how they reached out to their brothers and sisters inneed`.

Appreciating the overall response of the nation in helping the flood-hit people, he called for more efforts and aids for the helpless.

JI vice-emir Dr Farid Paracha quesdoned the non-implementation of the Flood Inquiry Commission 2010 report and called for the constitution of another judicial commission to pinpoint the alleged mismanagement and corruption in the ongoing flood relief work.
