The hailstorm, followed
by unseasonal rain continued for a week during 5th to 12th March, has ruined 100% standing Rabi crops and many
houses with traditional mud tiles in Nanded District. We had conducted a survey
to assess the extent of damage. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) had major role
in the survey. The feedback was immediate need of shelter - repairing of their
houses. Considering their priority we focused the relief work and surveyed the
4 severely affected villages namely Shevala (old), Shevala (New), Alur, Nandur
and part of Sagroli. All the beneficiaries are either agri labour or small
farmers. We found 230 houses need roof replacement either by tiles or tin. On
high priority, trucks loaded with tiles were ordered directly on the site. Same
day distribution of tiles and renovation of their houses was in action. Due to
a helping hand, people in the villages were flooded with relief. Thanks for the
wholehearted generous support of the Caring Friends.
