The cyclone named “Nisha” which hits Tamilnadu last week of November. Thiruvarur District is one of the worst affected area due to the rain. Nearly 193 mm of rain was recorded in a single day in Valangaiman (where ARAM Trust Functions) leads to flood in and around of Valangaiman Taluk (Part of a District).

Nearly 60 villages are totally vanished in Valangaiman Taluk and more than 2800 peoples lost their houses because of the heavy flood. Military was called for rescue operations and they have rescued 773 people from the flood.

It seems to be a record in the history of military which rescues more number of peoples in a single operation by a single unit.

90% of the affected peoples are farmers and their lands are fully surrounded by water, their cattle’s are washed away by the flood. It was these cattle’s they depend upon for their daily meals.

ARAM Trust had started their service immediately during the cyclone. It has distributed more than 15000 food packets for elders and 6000 packets of milk and biscuits for children.

It also conducted a on the spot medical camp during the rescue operation handled by Military. We have given shelter and food for the military peoples.

ARAM Trust has worked with Military, Deputy Collector of Thiruvarur District and with Revenue officers during that time and provided food and medical aids to the rescued peoples.
