Lending Support to Flood-hit Chennai
Madurai
[undated]
The recent floods that hit Chennai and surrounding areas is one of the worst disasters in the recent past in Tamil Nadu. The fury of nature has been devastating and deadly. Forceful floodwaters washed away everything that came its way – people, cattle, homes, apartment buildings, cars and all that was blocking nature. Millions were still stranded. Chennai and Cuddalore were inundated. In this moment of unspoken tragedy and human suffering, Aravind Eye Care System and Green Walk joined hands to be a catalyst in sending relief materials on behalf of the concerned citizens of Madurai. Almost all the centres of Aravind joined in the relief efforts provided aid to the flood hit areas and rehabilitating people. Relief materials distributed included blankets, dresses, towels, lungi, nighties, mats, sarees, sweaters, rice, grocery packages, milk powder, utensils, stoves, candles, emergency lights, torches, sanitary napkins, mosquito nets and medicines and medical care.
