Social workers have urged authorities to properly check credentials of persons setting up relief camps in Karachi and collecting goods in the name of relief supplies for quake victims.
This follows the collection of large amount of goods by some individuals under the name of unknown NGOs and then trying to sell the material in the market and abandoning goods when asked to prove their ownership.
A lot of goods collected outside the mosque next to the CIA Centre in Saddar are also lying unattended.
Similarly, at collection centres, some persons have collected goods such as milk in cartons and even yogurt, which cannot be despatched to affected areas because of early expiry of these products. At many camps, it was seen that donations of fresh fruits are also accepted when those cannot be transported for the relief of the affected.
People generally feel some criminal elements have joined ranks of NGOs and are collecting relief goods and misappropriating them. They think credentials of all relief camps should be checked by officers of the City District Government Karachi as also of the provincial government and possibly by the Red Crescent.
By such scrutiny all those, who have entered the relief collection campaign with ulterior motives, would be culminated and the good name of genuine NGOs and organisations collecting relief goods would be saved.
