Guwahati: An Assam-based social media influencer has alleged that some content creators collecting public donations for flood relief are misleading donors by distributing relief materials supplied by district administrations while allegedly portraying them as items purchased using public contributions.

The influencer claimed that such practices could mislead donors about how their contributions are being utilised and urged people to demand greater transparency and accountability from those raising funds in the name of flood relief.

The allegations have triggered a widespread debate on social media, with many users calling for individuals and organisations collecting donations to publicly disclose details of the funds received and how the money has been spent.

The claims have not been independently verified, and no official response has been issued by the authorities or the content creators named in the allegations. However, the controversy has renewed discussions on the need for greater transparency and public accountability in crowdfunding and charitable relief efforts, particularly during natural disasters.
