Phulwari Sharif (Patna): Amir-e-Shariat Maulana Syed Nizamuddin urged Bihar government to accelerate their flood relief work while talking to TwoCircles.net after a press conference organized by Imarat-e-Shariah, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa in its Patna head quarter.

He said that the flood situation in Bihar is grim. Every where there is a fear and panic in the people, they have lost everything they had, they have nothing to eat and little to survive. Lakhs of residents have become homeless and forced to stay under the open sky. Almost all dams are damaged or broken. More than two hundred people are infected with different water born diseases. Diarrhea, Cholera will spread very rapidly due to scorching sun rays.

Amir-e-Shariat said that the situation will become more dangerous and uncontrolled if the victims are not provided medical aid in time. "The survivors urgently need relief on the basis of humanity. Relief work from central and state governments should be carried out on war footing", he stated.
