Sir,
I shall consider it a great favor if you kindly publish the miserable condition of the cyclone-stricken people of Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala in the columns of your paper and also issue an appeal for help and funds for these hard-hit people
The cyclone has caused a terrible loss to the villagers living near the sea.
A good number of villages have been swept away. Standing crops have been totally mined. Moreover, the flood-stricken people are passing their days in trees. They are without food, clothing and also without shelter. In certain villages, many families cannot be traced. In many cases children are without parents and parents are without children. The total loss of life has come to about 70 thousand and the number of cattle that were killed as well as washed away runs into millions. It has been estimated that crops worth two crore rupees have also been destroyed.
As regards the property, the conditions are still worse. Numberless houses and huts have been washed away by water. Had not the volunteers of the Provincial Relief Committees reached in time and provided food to the people there would have been many more deaths. The Indian Army, too, rendered a yeoman’s service.
These agencies have saved many precious lives and relieved the distress of many men and women Their services deserve praise from every lip I have seen the scene of death and destruction during my last visit to Andhra.
The funds at the disposal of volunteers are not sufficient to meet the requirements of the victims. I would, therefore, suggest to you to start a Relief fund and make an appeal to the charitable and noble-minded people to come to the rescue of these unfortunate victims of the cyclone. I am sure the public will generously contribute to this fund.
With thanks.
Yours truly,
Ram Chand

Subject: Help for Karnataka flood victims
Sir:
I am writing this letter to appeal to the people of our country to come forward in helping the flood-stricken people of Karnataka. Recently one of the worst floods have hit Karnataka in decades. Owing to copious rainfall that started on August 8, 2018, all the dams of the state were filled to capacity. The gates had to be opened to keep the dams safe. The incessant rains further deteriorated the flood situation. Approximately 370 people have died in the floods so far. Thousands of homes have been affected and damaged. More than a million people had to take shelter in relief camps. Normal life has come to a standstill. It will take many months of hard-work to bring life to normalcy in Karnataka.
The entire nation has come forward to lend a helping hand to the Karnataka flood victims. Central Government, State Governments, Union Territories, Multi-National Corporations, Big Business Houses, Celebrities, Sportsmen and women, schools, colleges, and common people have been contributing to Karnataka's Chief Minister’s Relief Fund generously. Even the help from foreign countries is pouring in. It will take many months of hard-work to bring life to normalcy in Karnataka. Through the medium of your esteemed newspaper I appeal to the people to contribute liberally. Kindly give my views enough space in your esteemed daily. Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Vidit
