Awami League presidium member Abdur Razzak on Tuesday called for proper distribution of relief materials among the distress people in cyclone affected areas.

"Government has got lot of relief materials and donations from within and outside the country. Those should be properly distributed among the distress people," Razzak said.

He was addressing the party men when the Dhaka City unit handed over relief materials to the party's relief committee at the central office.

The AL leader demanded of the government to sanction fresh loans to the farmers and businessmen of the cyclone affected areas and waive all interest on their loans.

He also demanded immediate steps to rehabilitate the distress people in coastal belt and distribute agriculture inputs to the farmers.

Razzak said Awami League would continue relief operation "Our leader Sheikh Hasina is not present among us. It's our responsibility to continue the relief activities."

Thanking the party workers and supporters for the relief he said they had never done politics with people's miseries. They would serve the people.
