Inspired by H.H Sri Sri' Ravishakar's call to deliver relief to the affected people, the Art of Living has been working round the clock to reach out to more and more survivors. It is taking care of 5,000 people housed at the Jankinagar, Phulwari camp, providing them food, clothes, polythene sheets, bleaching powder and torches. A team of doctors is also at the camp providing medical assistance and medicines. It’s also providing relief material on a daily basis to survivors housed in several other camps.
An estimated 3.5 million people were affected or displaced by the flood which happened when the monsoon-driven Kosi River changed its course after almost two centuries following a breach in a dam upstream in Nepal. According to official reports, nearly 80 people were killed in 16 districts. Around 1,600 villages in the region have been marooned.
