Amid fears looming large of an outbreak of epidemic in flood-ravaged Jammu and Kashmir, the situation in the state has worsened as more areas have become submerged in flood waters, leaving a trail of death and destruction. DLF Foundation ramped up its efforts to provide relief material, medical staff and medicines. A medical team along with DLF staffers is already there in J&K to assist the flood victims in the affected areas. The Foundation is also holding medical camps.
‘J&K is still a national priority and we will continue to support the victims through the difficult rebuilding period ahead. The people of the state will continue to have a friend and partner in DLF Foundation,’ said Lt Gen Rajender Singh, the CEO of DLF Foundation. ‘We have dispatched a medical team along with a team from DLF Foundation to assist in relief work. Medical camps have been
organised by the DLF Foundation in the affected areas of J&K,’ he added.
DLF Foundation has directly intervened in the affected areas and contacted the Indian Air Force and the Army and requested them to help transport the Relief Material to the affected families. The Indian Air Force agreed to provide an aircraft to airlift the relief material and more than 12 tonnes of food and relief material was airlifted to the flood affected areas of the valley by a special IAF aircraft from Delhi airport on 12 and 15 September. The Relief Material sent contains food, water, blankets, life saving medicines and hygiene kits.
‘Like the first consignment sent on Friday, the second consignment of 6000 kgs (6 tonnes) was sent to Srinagar carrying relief supplies including food items like biscuits, bread and namkeens, packaged drinking water, milk powder, bread, roasted gram, blanket, torches and hygiene kits, among others,’ added DLF Foundation Director (Programmes) Gayatri Paul.
During the Uttarakhand floods, too, the DLF Foundation had contributed in cash and kind for relief and rehabilitation. All DLF staff contributed a month’s salary with a matching contribution from DLF to the PM’s Relief Fund. Medical teams had also gone to Uttarakhand to provide assistance.
