Wrong approach. Get the victims too involved in the rebuilding process. Self help with funds from Rehabilitation. Funds paid in stages. Some victims may contribute in terms of self labour and funds as well to improve on demolished building. via DM iPad app

From where are the funds coming from. Can we get the people who did this to pay. If army is doing labour should be free. Soldiers get paid from the government. Only material cost should be paid. This is fantastics. Wait until get destroyed and get army to do this. Is the work audited?

Money that could have been spent on development welfare now has to be spent on rebuilding due to unnecessary acts of few thugs. These culprits have to be stripped naked and whipped in public till they suffer to death so they will feel the pain.

Merely to repair the damaged buildings it costs 200 millions. What would be the figure if the total damaged is estimated Every one of us will have to share this burden because of a few animals. via DM Android App
