COVA APPEAL FOR DONATIONS FOR VICTIMS OF UTTARAKHAND FLASH FLOODS
The Flash Floods in Uttarkhand have caused unprecedented destruction and damage in about 40,000 sq. kilometre area affecting thousands of pilgrims and thousands of local residents, with apprehension of deaths of over 5000 people. Thanks to the untiring and heroic efforts of members of the armed forces and some local agencies and groups, over a lakh pilgrims and local residents have been rescued to safety. However, hundreds of villages and towns have been totally devastated and the locals have lost everything and are starving.
Their rehabilitation will be a Herculean task and may take a number of years but the immediate challenge is to provide food, clothing and temporary shelters to thousands of affected families of the area. Even people from the rich and middle classes have also lost everything and there is no local support system for survival. In such a situation, any help from everyone in the form of monetary or material donations will go a long way in providing critical succour to our fellow humans in dire need.
