Congress drive to mop up funds for tsunami relief

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, DEC. 29. It started with a suitcase. Then came the garments. And then, bed-sheets, blankets and towels and much more. In between, the cash came, in ones and twos, fives and tens, hundreds and an occasional 500.

The City Congress unit's efforts to mop up funds and relief material for those affected by the tsunami that struck the Indian coast saw party workers led by the Secunderabad MP, Anjan Kumar Yadav, crisscrossing General Bazaar and other commercial areas in Secunderabad on Wednesday.

The second leg of the Tsunami Relief Fund collection, after the Congress launched it in the Old City on Tuesday, began today from the Mahatma Gandhi statue on MG Road and went on for nearly four hours in the surrounding areas.
