“We jointly provided relief materials to them with according to the size of the families. Each of the families was given a bag of rice, grain, oil and cooking condiments to start their life.
”We need paramilitary to secure our borders so that whoever wants to go in will be screened at the border. Our people are ready to support the security agencies. In fact the military are already on ground and are doing good job there.
