In fact, victims of AMPHAN followed by YASS are the same and now it is a single project like relief and rehabilitation for victims of natural calamities. Thus project report is also the same. Please consider the following report submitted for victims of AMPHAN followed by the YASS like natural calamities.
We are facing numerous troubles due to AMPHAN followed by YASS just within a year during the crunch of COVID 19. People lost almost everything due to duel devastating natural calamities along with the Covid 19 like a pandemic. Shortage of food, medicine, drinking water, and other life-giving support has become an integral part of life. Adding to the miseries to the people, again the catastrophic low pressure with heavy rainfall, the entire area has fallen under the flood situation.
Standing in this situation and with limited resources, we are continuing with relief material distribution.
Small Household ponds remain full of salty water because of the flood. Thus it is not in usable condition. The villager uses it for cleaning, bathing and as drinking water for livestock. Therefore by this time, we started dewatering the pond to fulfil the rainwater. By this time, we put our effort into dewatering the salty water using power-driven water pumps. In this way, we can dewatering sixty-three ponds, the local water resources, made usable.
At the same time to make an uninterrupted drinking water supply, we are installing a tube well for safe drinking water. Lifting of underground drinking water is a matter of huge investment because it requires a thousand feet boring along with the materials for the same. Even then, we can install two tube wells for drinking water and trying more to install, considering the water crisis during natural calamities like AMPHAN or YASS.
Side by side health check-ups along with the mask distribution, Vaccination for Covid 19 is also going on regularly.
Fund crisis, needless to mention, is a big issue for fighting with this herculean task though we are relentlessly trying our best to stand by the people of our ill-fated locality.
