Victims of the Devastating Northern India Flood Disaster

Torrential rain and floods washed away buildings and roads, killing at least 23 people in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. More than a dozen people died in the state’s Rudraprayag district alone, while another 50 people were missing. More than 10,000 pilgrims stranded along a mountain pass leading to a Hindu religious site were being evacuated by helicopter after roads to
the pilgrimage spot were blocked by landslides. The River Ganga and its tributaries are flowing above the danger mark in several areas in the Himalayan state. Over 2 Million people are displaced and are in dire need of help and support. VHP of America has established a relief fund and is soliciting all its members, their friends and family members to contribute to this fund generously and help the people who are in dire need of help and support.
