Many braving the
inclement weather turned up in college on Independence Day, Wednesday, 15th
August in a spirit of true patriotism. But since the previous day, Thrichur
had been receiving a rainfall of
the kind never before seen in living
memory and many low lying areas in Thrissur were flooded with water levels rising to over
three metres…So, by the time the District Collector declared a holiday on 16
August, and the University of Calicut
preponed Onam vacation from Monday, 20
August to Friday, 17 August, many
National Highways and bridges were
submerged in water and buses stopped plying. Those students staying in hostels were
safe but their own homes miles away were affected by dangerously rising
water levels…
By Saturday, 18th
morning, almost everyone who had stayed back
in the college hostel had
vacated….
We, the Staff and Students of IASE, pray for the
safety and welfare of those affected by the deluge….Please feel free to contact
us if in need of any help…
