The Poor of Allai

Yaar Yahya,

While it is heart-rending to read about the travails of the poor in the aftermath of the earthquake, it is heartening to note that guys like you are doing your bit. And more importantly, highlighting the plight of these forgotten people, unlike some of the other characters found in abundance on Chowk, who mouth off their love for Pakistan from their armchairs, but don`t go beyond their air-conditioned offices.

May God bless you!!

I read several article related to Allai Valley by Mr.Yahya. So far his comments/concern about education in the Valley is coorect. But he went far away from ground reality by telling that tenents were deprived from innitial cheque of Rs.25000/=. Can I ask Mr. Yahya where he has seen a person having been deprived of innitial cheque? In upper Allai: Pokal, Allai, Bateela, Gantar etc there is no such case. The tenents have deprived the land lords from their genuine share of relief and cash. The money was given to the tenents for the reconstruction of houses and they ran away to the beg cities or they utilized that amount in other rubish issues rather to construct the house. Who will reconstruct the houses owned by land lords and occupied by tenents when the valley jolted?. God forbid, if any city in pakistan ruin by earth quake, the compensation of flat would go to the owner or to the person who rented the flat/house? Why this criteria was not adopted in Allai Valley? Who will bring the tenents who make good with the cash given to him for the reconstruction of house?
Some media people and some NGOs have created mess in Allai Valley.They are instegating the tenents to ellegally occupy the land owned by someone else.
The ``Sufaid Posh`` the nobles of the valley are really the loser. They cannot stand in the queue for relief and cash becouse of ego. Every poor in Allai Valley have received more than seven to ten high quality blankets but the noble are still deprived of this!. The unjust distribution by white elephants(NGOs) have given much to some and deprived the others. The real benificiary of the earth quake are the workers who got lucrative jobs in NGOs belonging to outside. They employed their kith and kins while this opportunity was refused to the local as is the case with Save the Children, IRC, Care International,NRC etc.
Why Mr. Yahya is not raising these issue with the people who matter in Islamabad?.
Allai Valley require Secondary School at every union council for the encouragement of female education.
I appeal to all the muslim around world to contribute for the reconstruction of Mosque (masjids) particularly for the masjid of Mahalla Hajiabad (Pokal).
