Amma Coordinates Massive Relief Work in Flooded Area
27 December 2004 — Amritapuri
The danger is over. But the damage has been done. While no one at the Ashram was injured, the villagers have suffered great losses. Family members are dead and missing. Many of their houses and huts have simply been washed away. The government has evacuated the area, asking everyone stay on the other side of the backwaters for the next 48 hours. Under Amma's instructions, relief camps have been set up at both the Amrita University School of Engineering and at the new Ayurveda School. More than 3,000 evacuees are being accommodated there.
