Today when the Chennai Traffic District was distributing Floor Relief, our  member Com. T. DuraiRaj  received  the relief amount and his wife also thanked later on Phone. 

He shared with our Circle Secretary the following information:

He is living 2/93 Nehru Street, Mettu Colony, Manapakkam, Chennai 600 125 ( Opp to MIOT Hospital).He is living in  slum area where 250 huts are there, which is on the bank of " Chemmbrambakkm Lake". On the night of December 2015,

(Thandora) public information system was given by the Revenue Department at 1200 mid night and before we could evacuate the  water started coming and was raising in  height at an alarming speed. We could   not fetch any thing other than saving our lives we ran towards Panachayat Office which was in higher plane. There was no cloth or money we could carry.  The First aid came from  the  Indian Military  that day evening and gave bedsheets and there after started giving us food, water both  in  the morning and in the evening till 10th of December 2015. So for no revenue of elected representatives have visited our place. More than 100 people stayed in the Pnachayat office which  was lacking in basic amenities.  

After return on 10th our life continues to be misery beause even  today there is water in all the streets and inside the  house two feet water which  is stagnet. Mosqutios and reptiles move freely and we are exposed to it. The Government officials  have come and given a standard form which we all have given . It is told that maximum  we may get only Rs.5000. We have lost everthing ( Ration Card, dress, Tv, Induction stove) what I saved in the last 40 years. Their area people even prepared to take old good sarees. That is the  field  reality. I am living with my wife and married daughter and Grand Daugher ( BHAVANA) studying in I Std.  is crying for books/note books she lost in the flood. We have turned in to Firewood cooking. 

Our Family conveys  Heartfelt thanks to the ALL INDIA BSNL PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION and all the leaders who has taken  the decision to help the  flood affected victms. 

Long  live Fraternity.
