Torrential rains and floods have ravaged most part of Kerala and in what is regarded as one of the worst floods in the history of the state, over 150 people have lost their lives in the past 10 days.
Operations at the Cochin International Airport have now been suspended till August 26 and the public transport system has also collapsed in many parts of central Kerala.
In wake of the floods, Kerala cricketer Sanju Samson has contributed Rs 15 Lakh to the Kerala CM Relief Fund.
Several donation outlets have been set up and people from every walk of life are trying to do their bit for the people of Kerala.
Here s how cricketers are contributing to relief efforts.
Some heart wrenching stuff coming out from the #KeralaFloods , nature has unleashed it’s fury at full tilt. My time line will be all over with helpline and flood relief details, please do not mind and try and see if you can contribute in any small way.
