The ShapoorjiPallonji Group reached out to the people of Puri who lost their livelihoods in the Fani.
Members of the group visited the gram panchayats of Gandamundabhoi and Bilabhoi under Puri Sadar block and distributed relief materials among the affected families.
The kits included a number of shelter items like tarpaulin and rope, household kit including plates and tumblers, sleeping mats, buckets and mugs, toiletries including soaps, towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste apart from mosquito coils and sanitary napkins. Also, chlorine tablets were provided to the families as groundwater in the area is feared to be contaminated.
Villagers appreciated the efforts of the team.
Company associate vice-president, corporate affairs and communications, Port Maintenance Limited Jagadish Chandra Rout said, “The ShapoorjiPallonji Group is committed to the noble cause of serving the cyclone-affected people.”
The relief programme was hosted by the group with support from Habitat for Humanity India and Mahashakthi Foundation.
