In the latest Disaster Management amendment bill 2024, the govt has eliminated provisions, such as relief in loan repayment.
This will negatively impact disaster affected communities that are already in debt.
The same govt has waived loans over 7 lakh cr for corporations.

Amazon must pay more tax.
Why?
Amazon would not be able to operate in the UK without an educated, healthy workforce. Or without roads and infrastructure. Or without a police and fire service.
