Dec 2015 - Flood Relief

Distribution of Rice bags

December 2015, the Coromandel Coast region of South India saw an unprecedented flooding as a result of heavy rainfall. Citizens banded together to rescue others stranded in their homes as the water levels rose to alarming levels. The storm brought life to a standstill and almost everyone experienced some kind of loss.

Sanmar rose up to the need of hour like always and distributed 50 Tonnes of rice bags to the flood affected families at Cuddalore and Karaikal. Many Sanmarites from day one of the calamity provided support to people in their neighborhoods, in different ways - physical help, food and providing a place to stay. Many worked with volunteer groups. Closer home, at Sanmar, we did a quick appraisal of the extent to which our colleagues in Chennai (and Cuddalore) had been affected by the floods. Some 38 families suffered moderate to severe damage by the onslaught, while ten of them were very severely hit. The Group’s immediate financial assistance to a large number of employees in Chennai and Cuddalore came as a big relief to many who needed immediate financial help. The Group has also provided assistance to some employees who suffered moderate to severe damage.
