13 Ways to donate for Bihar Floods
On August 18, 2008 heavy water in the Kosi River in Bihar caused the manmade embankment to fail. The Kosi river, also called the Sorrow of Bihar, abandoned the prescribed western channel for an old channel near the center of its alluvial fan and also spread out widely and inundated towns, villages and cultivated fields on the densely populated alluvial fan.
The extent of flooding can be visualized by considering that the record 25,000 m 3/sec flow could cover 2,160 square kilometers a meter deep in 24 hours. 2008 flood covered a vast area and disrupted the lives of 2.3 million people including approximately 100 deaths.
Bihar is in urgent need of all kinds of support. Appeal to all the people in Bandra,Khar and Santacruz - Pl do your level best.
We are providing a list of organizations, proactive citizens and individuals trying to help out the 2 million plus people in Bihar.

The river of sorrow, Kosi, is living up to its name by wreaking havoc on the people of North Bihar. Hundreds of villages, comprising almost half of Bihar have been affected so far.

We at Zee News, are resolved, that the task of helping the more than two million people displaced due to the crisis does not lie with the government alone. We appeal to you, our readers, to come forward and contribute in the relief work by donating money.
Please make your cheaque/DDs payable to “Zee Foundation” and send it to Zee Foundation, FC - 19, Sector 16A, Noida 201301
