Hey everyone...
Sorry I wasnt able to post here since I was myself tensed for my near and dear ones back home. Thanks to prayers of millions of people who were praying for people back home. I have heard some horrible stories about number of people who have died and are still waiting for water supplies to restore.
I spoke to my family yestd afternoon and they were all fine. But my uncles place located near new Richi-Rich, parle point was covered by water. I have tried contacting people living near Athwa Gate but BSNL phone lines were still dead.
Hats off to my friend who was sending me updates from water submerged Nanpura. I told her to send me msgs and switch off her phone therefore she could be in touch with me through all this days of grief and pain.
The major task ahead for Surat will be recovering from this trauma and cleanliness thereoff. My friends located in Bhatar said that SMC authorities were quick to act in their area since they had come to their society and asked residents to clean their houses and leave the roads upto the authorities. By nightfall they had sprinkled fertilizers and cleared roads.
