FLOOD relief supplies collected in Vanua Levu will be delivered to victims in the Western Division for free by a local courier company.

CDP's northern branch has so far sent across 125 cartons of supplies to the west for free. Company manager northern Dewan Chand said 100 more cartons would be sent to the west today.

"We are offering our services for free so the supplies collected can reach the victims in the west on time.

"This is the least we can do for our friends, relatives and families who were affected by the recent floods.

"We are not only helping the flood victims but we are also saving extra money for those who have offered to donate clothes, food and housing materials as they don't have to pay for the freight charges," he said.

Mr Chand said the initiative was part of their commitment and service to the people. "We are thrilled to help because one-day we might also need the assistance from our brothers and sisters in the west," Mr Chand said.
