He wrote that a few months ago I went to Churmala and Mundakkai with my brother. I saw the destruction and damage caused by the landslide. I met children who had lost their family members. I met mothers who were weeping over their children and families, whose entire lives had been swept away by the fury of nature.
He wrote – Yet, amidst the darkness of tragedy that befell you, your courage and fortitude as a community stood out to me the most. You are united with a strength I have never seen before. Doctors, public representatives, volunteers, social workers, teachers, nurses, housewives, everyone was doing what they could to help each other.
