Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 Dear jairam Just seeing the news on Star TV - they are now talking a possible figure of 100,000 dead. May the people of Gujarat have the strength to bear this devastation. -- Specially the people of Katch -- the greatest loss of life is in that area.... hari hari..

Talking to UNI in Gandhinagar, he said a large number of people had been rendered homeless and they would have to be put up in tents. Good quality and spacious tents were urgently needed, Besides mobile toilets, emergency medicines, blankets, clothes, small power generators, petro-max lamps, gas-cutters and cranes. Mr. Pandya, in an appeal to the people of India and the world, said the quake-hit areas need food (non-perishable)items like biscuits, bread, milk powder. In view of scarcity of water in the already drought-stricken areas now reeling under the quake-impact, a large number of safe drinking water pouches were the need of the hour. The State Government also urgently needed modern communication systems, as was provided by the Prime Minister to the Kargil jawans, for smoother communication from areas like Bhuj. =========== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
