The mission of calamity relief is not limited to activities like distribution of some relief kits. The primary task to be fulfilled by the civil society is to rebuild the lost confidence and sense of security among the victims and facilitate their safe rehabilitation. He promised that Popular Front being an organization which is in the forefront of people’s rights for justice, is determined to extend all possible support in the legal fight until every single victim of this riot is delivered due justice that Indian constitution assures to its citizens.
