The devastating cyclone 'Hudhud', that struck the beautiful Coastal Andhra Pradesh City of Vizag and Uttarandhra, on the 12th Oct'2014, causing massive destruction, is yet another litmus test to People 's resilience, in the wake of Natural calamities.
Though aided by technology and alert state machinery , the loss of human life was largely curtailed to the bear minimum, the material and infrastructural loss in Vizag and its surroundings is of a scale never seen in history. It is beyond imagination.
In sheer monetary terms , the damage caused by HudHud cyclone is estimated at a minimum of Rs.70,000 crores ( over USD 11 Billion ). More than the monetary losses, is also the humongous human effort required to rebuild the city of Vizag and restore it's lost glory. Besides restoring the battered courage , morale and confidence of the affected people is yet another daunting task.
A massive rebuilding operation is currently underway and every endeavor however small or big from every concerned human being, will help further this cause and overcome the grief of this colossal tragedy. It is the bounded duty of all fellow Telugus and fellow Indians to take part in this exercise.
Towards this end , the Telugu Film Industry is making efforts to put together a Massive and Marathon Entertainment event also on a scale not seen before , to prompt the millions of Telugus in India and the large Telugu Diaspora to participate and contribute to their best capabilities, to provide succor to the Cyclone affected people and the areas.
It is a 'Call for Collective Action' by our Beloved Telugu Film Industry!! Join & Donate Now!! Spread the message and Show the Strength of Unity!!
