The biggest ever-natural calamity in last fourty years, the Tsunami hit the southeast and southern coast of India on the fateful 26th December 2004. A major earthquake(9.0 at ritcher scale) near Banda Aceh province off Sumatra coast in Indonesia followed by a tsunami [a Japanese word (tsu + nami), meaning tidal wave] claimed more than 1,50,000 lives in South and South-East Asia, and was responsible for displacing hundreds of thousands of people in the in the region.
This national disaster is a result of nature's internal disorder. Now all the NGO's, self help groups, whole heartedly individuals (apart from central and various state governments) should come forward to donate generously in order to provide relief, rehabilitation and to reestablish & bring the things to normal. Many helping hands are donating generously for the rehabilitation of tsunami heat areas, but it will not be sufficient for overcoming from the tragedy and psychological fear the people are going through. India should join hands in the global warming system as to prevent such incidents at huge scale in future.
May God help all those grievous victims and confer peace to the deceased!
It is a request to all those who by means of anything can donate generously towards tsunami-affected people.
