As you know we had experienced terrible floods in the 80% of Kurnool town which took nearly 5 lakhs of people on to roads without anything left.I personally had seen some glimpses of Kurnool city during heavy water logging's in almost all most important places of the Kurnool city.Floods shed the dreams of all walks of life in Kurnool town.Its very huge loss in terms of money to the Kurnool.
If I just mention the areas that affected with this devastating floods.
Totally 2 rivers Thungabadra and Handri river came closer and closer to each other by eating up both residential and business/commercial hot spots.Banks of Thungabadra River i.e., Roja Street,Prakash Nagar,N.R.Peta,Saibaba Nagar and villages like Panchalingala,Mamidalapadu.Banks of Handri river like complete Old town areas,Budhawarapeta,Rajviha,Bangarupeta,Rajvihar,Gandhi Nagar,Abdulla Khan estate and UconPlaza
Total Kurnool fate was changed in 6 hours. We went back to 10 years back position with this unexpected floods.
seems like the the loss could touch thousands of crores.For Residential people specially poor people who lives in small huts/small sheet houses lost all the whatever little things.They simply out on the roads with empty hands begging for food & Water.For business people,its major loss in terms of their stock/materials are completely washed out;
Yesterday while I was speaking to one of the business man;he told at least every business man lost 5 laksh to 50 lakhs in their respective volumes of business.
If you keep the financial loss aside; the people who felt the mental trauma for at least 18 hours standing in high
floors seeing the water reaching to them was un explainable.
The aftermath situations is worst;no body is looking forward to their relief.I have seen the some people who are working so hard now to recover from the aftermath;my whole hearted wishes with them.There are lot of NGOs/Private people/Private organizations/other citizens are contributing a lot to these
flood affected areas.
In these circumstances, couple of things is very disturbing to everyone.
1.some selfish junk guys are looting the homes for the valuable things.
2.some provision shop owners are selling the day to day commodities for higher
prices.
I can't understand why these are earth still living in this world; I personally feel due to all this kind selfishness,cheating the people,un humanity activities only we are facing these unexpected calamities.
Big Challenges we are facing
1. Controlling health problems with proper sanitation.
2. Basic food items & clothing to people.
3. Helping Govt School children to go back to school with basic things
books,bags,pencils and other stationary for items.
4. Basic things like stoves,plates,Buckets,mugs,glasses,bowls etc..for family to
prepare food in their homes.
So, its high time to declare unanimously to help and join hands together to help and helpful to the poor people.
Friends come together, please please contribute something from your side and make our collective efforts to make some change in their day to day living.
we need to be helpful to each other during tough times;need to be supportive.If you are belong to Kurnool you have much more responsibility to contribute and do something bit to get back smile to all the affected peoples lifes.
So, This what we need to do
My initial observation and feeling is like
challenge no. 1 and no 2 which I mentioned above are taking care slowly in town from different places.
even donating cloths and doing help can be done by simply donating our old cloths and helping the people in the weekends.
Major challenges after 2 weeks are 3 & 4
3. Helping Govt School children to go back to school with basic things books,bags,pencils and other stationary for items.
4. Basic things like stoves,plates,Buckets,mugs,glasses,bowls etc..for family to prepare food in their homes.
Note: These are just pointers for you to think on this line; Please spend some time on any other mode of helping quickly and I would also request all the friends to share their opinions/suggestions in other ways to help the people. Some one may have better ideas or valuable needy things to be solved.
Note:Make sure we will contribute basic things of their life.
So we will start pooling money and decide the activity to be performed.
