Reports say one person died and several others got injured. Some houses
were destroyed leaving residents helpless. I send my sympathies to the
affected people. I have been talking to the National Disaster Management
officials to intervene. I have cut short my official investment tour of
the US and just about to start a journey back home. Hopefully I will be

I thank officials of the Metro Assembly, Assemblymen and the entire
volunteer force for helping out”
