Sub: Appeal for Uttarakhand Cloudburst Relief
Dear Sir/Madam,
On 13th September
midnight, unprecedented cloudburst, heavy rainfall & flash-flood struck
Ukhimath. Which caused complete devastation around Ukhimath, wiping away 9
villages - Mangoli, Bramhankholi, Churni, Prem Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, Dungar,
Semala, Kimana and Jakhni. All the entry roads to Ukhimath are totally washed
away. More than 100 already dead – many dead bodies are under the debris.
Immediately after the disaster
Bharat Sevashram Sangha started relief work. 200 victims provided shelter in
Swami Pranavananda Vidyamandir, Ukhimath. Everyday 250 homeless persons are
being fed twice at the Ashram. The poor students can no longer afford to pay
the fees which will lead discontinuity of studies.
Bharat Sevashram Sangha is therefore planning to provide substantial
financial assistance to the disaster-hit students for their future education.
Bharat Sevashram Sangha is also trying to adopt and rehabilitate at least 20 of
the victim families.
Sangha is in dire need of funds to continue the relief work. An
estimated amount of Rs. One Crore would be needed for the above mentioned
project.
We fervently appeal to all Corporates,
Trusts, Foundation to come forward and donate generously in form of financial
supplement to tide over the difficulty and stand by the devastated people in
their hour of need.
Cheque / Draft may please be drawn in favour of “Bharat Sevashram
Sangha, Haridwar.” Donation to the Sangha are exempted from I.
