Bhai, 1 crore is no small amount. But I hope the state government actually uses it effectively for flood victims and not just political publicity. Karthik's gesture is great, but we need transparency in how such funds are spent. Let's keep an eye on CM relief fund usage. 😊
Karthik ji ne ek example set kiya hai. Filmi stars ke paas paisa hai but woh kabhi bhi public service mein nahi aate. But Karthik aisa karke dikh rahe hai ki woh sirf actor nahi, ek responsible citizen bhi hain. Assam ke logon ko is waqt sabse zyada zaroorat raahat ki hai. 👏
Yeh to bade dil wale kaam hai. But I wish more film stars would step up during natural disasters. Sirf tweet karna kafi nahi, asli madad karo. Karthik ne sahi kiya. Aap logon ki taraf se CM himanta biswa sarma ko bhi shukriya. Ab umeed hai ki sahi logon tak madad pahuchegi.
Karthik ne apna farz nibhaya hai. But seeing the orange alert warnings, it’s going to be a tough few days for Assam. I hope the government uses this money for immediate relief like shelter, food, and medical aid. Also, please keep updating about weather warnings—people in low-lying areas need to be extra cautious. 🙏
