Kottaram, Kanyakumari.
July 16, 2017.
Dear Vinothini,
The Gaja cyclone hit my town Kanyakumari very severely. The
nearest town Nagercoil was no exception. The report confirmed the great loss of
lives and properties in the whole district of Kanyakumari. It was intensified
on November 30, 2017.
There was a severe damage to a lot of houses, schools,
hospitals, and other infrastructures in our area. The power line went off along
with the stoppage of water supply. It took months to recover.
The schools and colleges were closed. The important examinations
were also postponed. Many fishermen did not return home even.
We are recovering slowly but it remains still in our mind.
Yours lovingly,
Angela.
