Dr Friend, Our State is in the midst of an unprecedented flood havoc. The calamity has caus. immeasurable misery and devastation. Many lives were lost. Hundreds of homes were totally destroy. and many more were damag. in the rains. The water wash. away many shops and commercial establishments. The roads in the State were damag. on a large scale, with some roads being completely devour. by the flood waters. Even bridges had collapsed. Crop losses occurred in most pa.. The misery due to the rains has not ceas.. We are not able to make a complete estimate of the losses as the water is still above the norrnal level in rnany places. For the first time. in history, 27 dams in the State had to be open.. Never before had the State witness. a calamity of this scale. In spite of that, we responded to the crisis quickly. We were able to rescue the affected and relocate them to camps. The entire state machinery work. in unison to provide drinking water, fd and clothes to people in these camps. The services of Central Forces and Disaster Response Forces were made available without any delay. Army, Navy, Air Force, NDRF and Coast Guard are presently engag. in an exemplary rescue effort. 'The Police, Fire Force and other officials of the State are also doing a model service. Elected representatives and volunteers actively .k part in the relief efforts. The Ministers coordinat. the relief effo. at the district level. Now we have an important duty before us, the task of bringing life back to normal,. The people of the State must come together for this effort. The leader of the opposition was also a part of the official team of Government that visited the affected areas. The situation demands from us a unity that would rnake us proud forever. The Union government has promis. all possible assistance to the State. We become civilized only when we show cornpassion towards those who are suffering. We came together during the time , Ockhi disaster. In a similar manner, we must realize that this is a calamity of the entire State. I urge all to consider this as a request of Kerala and contribute generously to relief effo..
