Appeal to Provide Help to Flood Victims in Maharashtra

“As per the data of July 24 at 9.30 pm, about 1 lakh 35 thousand people have been evacuated from the flood-affected areas. A total of 112 deaths have been reported and 3221 animals have died. A total of 53 people were injured and 99 are missing,” said Relief and Rehabilitation Department.

Meanwhile, floodwater has entered the roads and fields, submerging many areas of the Sangli district in Maharashtra. Locals of the area are keeping an around-the-clock vigil. As many as 129 people have died in rain-related incidents, including multiple landslides, in Maharashtra over the last two days, while 84,452 people under the Pune division were shifted to safer places on Friday as heavy showers continued to wreak havoc in the state, officials said. In our own district Satara we have lost 30 people yesterday.

The basic requirement for the people affected by floods at this time is safe drinking water and two-time food. We would request all to come forward and provide a helping hand to them. The funds raised will be used to provide them with the following:

• Sanitizer
• Handwash
• Sanitary Pads
• Mask
• Food and Dry ration.
• Blankets
• Cleaning the public areas

This action will definitely help the few affected people to sustain for few days until their life comes to normalcy. The provision of Medical kits will help to protect these people from COVID-19 transmission.
