A flood of relief

HELPING OUT: The devastating floods that swept Bihar and Orissa recently have left in their wake a bloody trail of misery and havoc that will take a long time to repair but quite a few voluntary groups like the Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team have initiated rescue and relief work to heal the wounds, distributing food, milk, clothes, medicines and other daily necessities in the region in addition to the unpleasant chore of collecting and disposing of bodies and carcasses.
