Appeal to Contribute Generously for Relief for Flood-Affected in Chennai, Coastal TN and Puducherry
Torrential rains have devastated coastal Tamil Nadu, the city of Chennai, as well as Puducherry. Many hundreds of lives have been lost, lakhs left homeless and deprived of livelihood, and stranded without food, water and power.
While the Centre has announced a relief package for Tamil Nadu, it is silent on Puducherry, which continues to be lashed and deluged by rains. The Central Government must announce a relief package for Puducherry without delay, and Governments of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry need to do much more to ensure rescue, relief, and rehabilitation for the devastated people.
Let us do all we can to support the efforts to provide immediate relief to the flood affected people.
CPIML is launching a countrywide fund collection drive, and we appeal to all to contribute generously.
– Prabhat Kumar,
On behalf of CPI(ML) Central Committee
