Indians For Guns

Folks, a lot of people have lost their lives due to what is being called "tsunami in the hills". A moment of silence for the departed souls.

I hope all IGFians in the region are OK, as well as their families.

I did have a few of my relatives, all middle aged, all ladies except one, en route to Kedarnath. After spending a couple of nights on buses, etc., they are now moving back from Haridwar to Delhi. My colleague in charge of sales for that area trekked, in formal shoes and with a laptop, about 30-40 km up & down hills. They were the lucky ones.

The count of missing is 70,000 as per the newspapers. Many bodies would have been washed away or buried under landslides.

We can only imagine the plight of the people whose families are among the missing.

I was wondering if we could help in some way.

Shocking to hear

Shokcing to say the least. Hope the stranded return to their homes and loved ones safely.



Best-
Vikram

lets help those in need in whatever way we can. say can we supply blankets, woolen sweaters, biscuits, glucose just like how we did here for people affected by tsunami down south and sometime back to earthquake victims in latur and bhuj. how is it going to reach them is a big question too when everything has been washed out. anyone with better ideas - pls do share ur views. we shld have been working on a war-footing. and not depend on the govt which ha(s)d the audacity to say only 150 dead.
