Indian Workers To Collect Quake Relief

CONDOLING the death of a large number of people due to a severe earthquake in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent, the Indian Workers Association (IWA), Great Britain, has said that it is the weaker sections of society who are the main victims of disasters, whether natural or man-made. According to the association, this is as true of the highly developed countries, as was seen in the New Orleans state of the USA, as it is of the third world countries.

The Indian Workers Association, Great Britain, has issued an appeal to all the communities in the United Kingdom to raise funds in support of the victims of this tragedy. It has asked its branches all over Great Britain to do their utmost to support the relief efforts. It has also urged its members and the wider community to donate generously for the cause. The association has contacts with many organisations and individuals in Pakistan and India to ensure that whatever we raise goes to the people who need most. The IWA has given the following address where the donations may be sent: Pundit Kishori Lal Bhavan, 88 Hastings Road, Leicester LE5 0HL.
