more than 300 people lost their life, more than 10 lacs people had to leave their house and today they are at the flood relief camps.
The total damage estimate is of 20,000 crores due to this Kerala floods.
and the important thing is that friends this is the worst flood that has ever occurred in the last 100 years in Kerala.
and one more important thing is maybe this is the first natural disaster of our country which was communalised alot by some people.
a lot of hate and fake news about this was spread.
Many great people were found who looked for a Hindu-Muslim angel even in the natural disaster.
He is a very well known person Rajiv Malhotra ji who writes........
I mean this logic is out of my understanding, how can someone think so low?
that if the donation money is coming then before giving it's seen whether this person is Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
and money will be given according to the religion. Is this even possible in reality?
Looking at this it seems that some people just want to divide the country in the name of religion.
They want to put a divider in the country.
There's a men Gurumurthy sahab, he has become the director of RBI recently.
he is relating the Kerala disaster with mandir.
Some such fake news were also spread by making some fake twitter accounts in the name of news agencies which are communalising people.
A fake video has gone viral on whatsapp where a person in army uniform is telling people not to donate for Kerala
because the affected people are all rich!
But this was absolutely fake and he was a fraud person wearing the army uniform.
You won't believe friends they even spread a fake news against me too related to Kerala Floods.
I wrote a post on 18 August on Facebook which went viral.
here I wrote which all states have donated money to Kerala.
The time when I wrote it was factually correct at that point.
and many people were raising the point that from the Central Government and most of the state government's sufficient funding is not been received for Kerala.
so I thought it was really necessary to raise voice here and pressurise the Government to help Kerala.
After 3-4 hours of writing my post, donations started coming from the other state governments too and I updated the post.
But here they got the feed friends and they picked up the screenshot of the previous post and started sharing!
A very popular propaganda page on facebook called Nation with NaMo Inspite of knowing that this is my previous post and I've updated it 4 days ago
But still, purposely they shared the old screenshot that too sponsored.
You might be knowing that you can promote any post on Facebook by paying.
How can they stoop so low that to promote a fake news they are ready to pay for facebook ads
but when it comes to donate for Kerala where people really need money then they will bring the issue of Hindu-Muslim in between.
I don't have words for these people!
But if we look positively friends then there are just a few people like them in the country most of the people in our country keeps good intention and thinks good.
That's why maybe donations for Kerala has come from every corner of the world.
Thousands of organisations, individuals, celebrities, NGOs, NRIs and people like you, Kerala has received help from.
Central Government relief fund has reached upto 600 crores.
almost all the state Government has donated for Kerala on an average of 5-10 crores.
AAP and Congress Party has said that all their MPs and MLAs will donate their one month salary towards Kerala.
IAS officers of Tamil Nadu has said that they will donate their one day salary towards Kerala.
Infact the contributions has come from the foreign countries' governments too.
Qatar has promised 35 crores and UAE promised to give 700 crores rupees
Friends, Kerala actually needs help.
No source has opted for more than 1000 crores and 20,000 crore rupees is a very big amount.
That's why I request you all to donate.
Whether it's a big amount or a small it doesn't matter
it's rightly said that every drop makes the ocean. so whatever amount you are comfortable with, you can do so, whether it's a 100 rs, 50 or even just 20rs
and the easiest and direct way to donate is through chief minister's fund.
I've shared the link in the description and even in the top comment you can use the UPI and such payment system to transfer the amount.
There are many other ways to donate, I've listed them all in the description.
and if you wan to donate stuffs instead of money then you can do so through amazon.
Your Indian consumer has shown that step by step how to do so. You can click on the i button to watch it.
Apart from that even skills are required a lot, Kerala Minister has tweeted that a large number of plumbers, electricians and carpenters are required to start the redevelopment.
A very big question is raised friends why the floods occurred in Kerala?
What were the reasons behind it?
The biggest reason is climate change, the weather conditions are turning extremes worldwide.
Natural disasters are turning out to be more terrific.
But here there's another second important reason too.
Regional Environmental Destruction!
Five years ago from today a well respected ecologist and scientist Madhav Gadgil had predicted that anytime a terrific natural disaster can occur in the western ghats.
That time Uttarakhand floods were very famous so he has said that the situation like Uttarakhand can arise anytime in the western ghats.
If no step is taken towards environmental conservation.
In 2011 his committee has released a report and suggested ways for environmental conservation to six different state governments.
These states were Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa.
so these states were basically suggested steps to implement for environmental conversation.
and to avoid a natural disaster from occurring.
and unfortunately friends all the state government rejected his committee's reports and didn't accept any of the suggestion.
Recommendations given were to stop illegal constructions, stop the stone mining mafia, reduce deforestation and many laws and rules were suggested.
All these states who used to belong to different parties like BJP, Congress, LEFT party, they said that Madhav's recommendation is too Anti development.
and the results are in front of you in today's time.
However the floods have come in Kerala but the other states haven't fulfilled any recommendations too
This could have happened in different states too.
and Madhav has given the statement after Kerala floods that next target of natural disasters can be Maharashtra or Goa
if the illegal constructions is not stopped there.
Friends this let's us know that we need to be vigilant every time.
we have to raise our voice every time the government is doing anything against the environment.
Like the one we did in Delhi which turned out to be very successful.
Government was trying to cut the trees, already they are very less in Delhi and the government was going to cut even them to make housing for the central government employees.
People raised their voices and they abandoned this project.
We have keep raising our voices like this everytime the Government is doing anything wrong.
Now the next report says that our country's oldest national park, Jim Corbett national park, our government is trying to construct a highway from the middle of that national park.
Now even a child can say how destructive it's going to be for the ecology and what harm it can cause to the national park.
How much ever you make that highway eco-friendly but if a road passes from the middle of the national park then it can create a very bad impact.
Supreme court has said this few years ago that this highway should be constructed from the sides of the national park
But our Government says that we will take it from the center itself.
These things shows that how necessary is to remain vigilant and raise our voice over these small issues.
These issues look small but cutting off trees here and there can add up together to make a natural disaster later on.
So remain alert like this and keep raising your voice.
