Unprecedented rains and floods
have seriously affected Kerala State consecutively for the second year in a
row. Many Districts in Kerala are inundated and the situation is very serious
there. Even our AIPRPA Comrades are engaged in relief operations along with the
State Government of Kerala. Comrade V.A.Mohanan the State General Secretary of
Kerala State Association of AIPRPA has appealed for assistance from all to be
directly donated in the Kerala Chief
Minister’s Disaster Management Fund. I am reproducing the appeal as it is
hereunder. AIPRPA CHQ endorses the appeal of Kerala State AIPRPA and seeks the
assistance of all levels of our organization to Kerala at the time of their
dire need – KR GS AIPRPA

State have been affected by severe flood havoc during this month (August 2019).
The State had been hit by an unpreceded rain and flood last year engulfing life
of several people and causing heavy damage.
The
present Flood havoc has hit almost all Districts especially the Hilly Districts
such as Wayanad, Idukki, Kozhikode, Malappuram & Palakkad. Other districts
are also badly affected. More than 111 people have lost their lives due to
heavy earth falling and bursting of rocks. All the rivers are over flown.
Cochin Airport was closed for days together. Train and bus traffic were
paralyzed. Thousands of people were brought to rescue shelters and about 12000
people are still in rescue shelters opened in every Panchayat.
Rescue
and relief works are carried under the leadership of Chief Minister and State
Government. AIPRPA Workers in the State are also engaged in rescue and relief
works. The State Committee have given a call to mobilize maximum amount to The
Chief Minister Disaster Management Funds. The Districts level committees of
AIPRPA are fully engaged in relief works.
It
is requested that possible assistance may be given to console the victims by
contributing to Chief Minister's Disaster Management Fund directly or through
State organizations.
