It is a matter of humanity that you have expressed your interest to help these flood-affected people and tried to look for the way-outs. For the first time in the last hundred years, the exquisite land of the God became the severe victim of nature’s tragedy. Somewhere it’s a matter of responsibility now to help these people instead of a choice. When the foreign governments and celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo are coming forward then it is our accountability too to support our people. A special request is from those people, who have lots of travel memory with this wonderful land to give it back its beauty and the same request is from the people who are or were having Kerala’s name on their future travel destinations.
