Ekota correspondent adds that true to its glorious tradition CPB leaders and activists this time also were the first to go to Aila devastated areas with the meager resources at their disposal. Party leaders quickly arranged drinking water, dry foods and medicines and took them to remote areas in boats, trucks and other indigenous transport, During the last Cyclone Cidr Party President Manzurul Ahsan Khan was amongst the first relief teams rushing to severely affected regions distributing relief and helping rehabilitation of people in the cyclone ravaged area. Many people and philanthropic organizations in and outside the country contributed in cash and kind to CPB since they believed that their contribution will go to right places and right persons.Meanwhile the government has been strongly criticized for its failure to provide relief in many places,even primary once like water,dry foods and medicines.It seems that the government could not learn much from the experience of the last cidr and.other natural calamities in the coastal regions.Experts hold climate change, responsible for frequent and devastating natural calamities in Bangladesh.
