BMW donates for tsunami reconstruction

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: Auto major BMW has donated a sum of Euro 1,50,000 towards reconstructing houses in tsunami-hit South India. The amount has been channelised through German World Hunger Aid to reach Cuddalore, and the Dalits of the area who were affected.

The aim is to rebuild 275 buildings destroyed during the tsunami as flood proof structures and construction has already begun, with the community actively engaging themselves in the work.

The project slated to be completed by February 2007, provides houses for 1,400 people, according to a press release.
