'Fake NGOs collect money during Ramadan...,' said CM Abdullah

The Chief Minister Abdullah has raised concerns about fake NGOs collecting donations during Ramadan, which negatively impacts genuine organizations.

During the holy month of Ramadan, many fake NGOs emerge which raise funds but do not utilize the money properly. These fraudulent organizations often collect donations under the guise of helping patients, without actually knowing whether there are patients in need or not. This practice endangers the livelihood of legitimate NGOs by reducing the funds they receive, ultimately hindering their ability to support those they aim to help.

The Chief Minister has emphasized the importance of addressing this issue, asserting that complaints have been lodged with the local Deputy Commissioner to protect authentic NGOs and ensure that action is taken against these scammers. His statement highlights the growing concern over the misuse of charitable contributions, especially during a time when many people are willing to donate for a good cause.

As Ramadan is a significant period for charitable giving in many communities, the implications of such fraudulent activities are far-reaching. The Chief Minister's call for greater scrutiny suggests a push towards better regulation and transparency in fundraising efforts, which may lead to increased accountability and support for verified charitable organizations in the future.
