Dear Comrades,
RUSH HELP TO KERALA
The “God’s own
Country” i.e. Kerala is facing worst flood in nearly 100 years – the last one
reported was in the year 1924. Nearly a hundred people have lost life in the
last 72 hours, and nearly 300 since May 18 when south west monsoon set in in
Kerala.
Nearly 60000 houses are
submerged and totally damaged, 12 out of 14 districts are under red alert and
two districts (Idukki and Wynad) are totally cut off. 33 dams are full and are
opened to avoid the worst; 41 rivers (out of 44) are overflowing well past the
red mark submerging the neighbouring villages and towns/cities. Landslides have
taken lives of dozens. Kochi International airport is closed due to flooding.
Rail and Road transport has come to a stand-still.
Rescue operations are still
going on with the help of Indian Navy and other central forces along with
Disaster management force of Kerala and the local people. More than 40000
people are in the relief camps across the state.
It is reported that the
central government has refused to declare it as a national calamity and thus
refusing the required financial help to tide over the immediate crisis.
We appeal to all our units
to rush help to Kerala by liberally contributing to the Chief Ministers
Distress Relief Fund, AC/No: 67319948232, SBI City Branch, Thiruvananthapuram,IFSC:SBIN0070028
or by visiting the site Kerala Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund.
With greetings,
Yours
fraternally
