reminds me of the "Parippu drop". While we are thankful to the indians for their magnanimity, we hope this gesture will not be followed by their demand to sigh CEPA

How much of this 'aid' will go to those affected by floods, and how much will end up in the wrong hands?
There are reports of aid packages being appropriated by the army in the north.

The foods stuff is from the disaster management system of India. We don't have such a system? Shy.
