Check accountability, then donate for quake-hit Nepal: Manisha Koirala
Mumbai, April 28
Manisha Koirala, who has roots
in Nepal, is saddened by the machinations of some people who are trying
to make money by misusing relief funds meant for earthquake-hit Nepal.
The actress has advised people to be cautious of such organisations.
“I
have been warned that a lot of organisations would be misusing this
situation so I request every one who wants to help to please double
check the accountability and then only offer help...," a post on
Manisha's official page on Facebook read.
"A lot of my friends
who want to travel to ktm (Kathmandu), please be mindful that too many
people are already there n there is a shortage of food n water...we must
be prepared for long span of rehabilitation n relief work (I m afraid
after the initial shock n hence desire to help gets diluted by misuse of
help & with time we become numb n start ignoring)
“So I
request all my well meaning friends that please please be mindful of
helping in such a way that it is maximum utilised by the victims...the
situation is very very grave...my brother has been taking rounds on the
field n it is heartbreaking,†the post further reads.
The
Himalayan nation was jolted by an earthquake of 7.9-magnitude on
Saturday, bringing the region to a halt. The toll in the devastating
quake has crossed 4,300.
The actress, who is busy shooting for
Tamil-Kannada bilingual "Game", feels that people involved in the misuse
of funds should get a fitting punishment.
“Also to all my
country people n those who love nepal...pl be vigilante about any
organisations/person involved with misuse of funds or material or black
marketeers of any sorts...they should be punished n not spared!! So pl
keep an eye (sic),†she further said.
