Hudhud Cyclone Relief
After ducking the devastating effects of the 2004 tsunami and the 1977 cyclone, the "City of Destiny" sadly had its date with disaster on Sunday when a very severe cyclonic storm Hudhud tore through the city, unleashing widespread destruction and bringing the otherwise bustling city of nearly 20 lakh people to a grinding halt.
The cyclone, that made landfall in the Port City around noon, sent hoardings and tin roofs flying like saucers, shattered windows leaving the streets littered with glass shreds, toppled over statues of leaders in many places as well as landmarks like the replica of the navy airplane on RK Beach. Scores of electricity and telephone poles were knocked down and thousands of trees uprooted as strong gales accompanied by heavy rainfall lashed the city right from Sunday morning to evening. Under the impact of Hudhud that made a landfall on Sunday, accompanied by gusty winds and heavy rains, the effected region looks like a war-ravaged zone with uprooted trees, knocked down cell towers, electricity poles, transformers, and telephone poles lying strewn at several places.
We samikhya teamed up with fellow NGO in Kakinada and worked actively by sending food & water during the period 15th oct - 17th Oct as per the need of the hour.
Though the situation in vizag city is restoring we still find much more to be done in the other parts of effected region. So, Samikhya Charities is planning for one more relief activities in the interior parts of Vishakapatnam,Srikaluam & Vizayanagaram on 25th Oct So we request you all to donate and support the cause. Kindly send in your donations by 24 Oct 2104. For more information & updates keep watching the website below:
