Mysuru: The neighbouring Kodagu District is reeling under an unprecedented crisis following heavy rains and landslides, rendering thousands of people homeless. Meanwhile, the people of Mysuru, seeing the calamity affecting the coffee bowl of the state, have risen to the occasion and have come in large numbers to donate whatever they are capable of at the flood relief collection centre set up at Town Hall.
Even the poor families are coming with a bed sheet, saree, monkey cap, sweater, and a few other materials and dropping it at the centre. Voluntary organisations like the GSS Foundation, Let’s Do It! Mysore and a few others are joining hands and are collecting bread, buns, biscuits, milk, milk powder, fruits, rugs, jerkins, sweaters, T-shirts, sarees, churidhar, nighties, raincoats, chocolates.
