According to press release, during a meeting the appeal to government and other charitable organizations of the country to extend help to the flood victims. "It is very pertinent to mention that man has been trampling with the nature ruthlessly during the last 50 years and consequently such tragedies occur, which affect the life of major chunk of population", they said and added that relief and rehabilitation was the priority at this point of time but for posterity they have to take massive remedial measures to minimize the adverse effect of such floods on the population. Needless to add that the persons residing in these areas were most sufferers of the devastations caused by the fury of floods and have been the victims of the nature's wreath. We need to learn lessons from these type of tragedies. Had there been adequate forests on both the banks of River Tawi, the devastation could have been of low magnitude. Hence we fervently appeal to all the citizens and media fraternity to cooperate and support Van Sampda in plantation drives and awareness program.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
