TITLI AND IT'S EFFECTS
There Is Huge Destruction Of Mythological Mountain MAHENDRAGIRI. Bhagawan Parsuram Mandir, Biswanath Mandir & Bhojan Mandap Is Completely Ruined & Swept Away In The Water Current Which Needs To Be Reconstructed As Thousands Of Pilgrims Visit The Temple Everyday.
It Is Worth Mentioning That The Mythological Mountain MAHENDRAGIRI In Gajapati District Has Been Completely Divastated By The Cylcone “TITLI” And The Subsiquent Flood & Land Slide. The People Have Been Rendered Homeless And The Casuality Is More Than 77 & Some 20 People Fighting For Survival Which May Increase After Restoration Of Communication. The Nearby Town In Ganjam (Ghumusar) District & Aska The Flood Water Was As High As 10 Feet Due To Swelling Of River Rushikulya, Badanadi, Banshadhara & Mahendratanaya. Our Volunteers Have Reached The Site On The Very Next Day With Dry Food, Drinking Water, Blankets, Tarpoline Etc. Which Is Quite Inardiquate In Comparision To The Gamut Of Damages Coused.
