We are sure everyone is aware of the flood in Orissa and the Earthquake in Sikkim. Hundreds of lives have been lost, livelihood destroyed and people have lost everything and have been taking refuge in relief shelters. As learnt from people who have been volunteering in the area, the extent of damage is immense.
Orissa: Water is continuing to surge from the river Mahanadi and its tributaries and creating havoc in Orissa. More than 3000 villages have been marooned by this flood. Many districts have been severely hit and all communication channels to these pockets had been disrupted. About 10 lakh people were encircled by flood water in these areas for the last 15 days. And it’s not yet over…
Sikkim: An earthquake of 6.9 magnitude has rocked one of our most beautiful states of India -Sikkim. This earthquake has left more than 100 people dead and an enormous property damage estimated to be more than 100,000 Crore.
