More on June floods

This summer I posted about the devastating flooding in the valleys of the Garhwal Himalayas in June. The biggest damage in our immediate area was to the Aglar River valley .. water carrying boulders swept through the valley and destroyed the farming terraces along the river and destroyed small canals which brought water to some of the villages.

Today Woodstock issued an update on some of the aid being supplied to villagers in the Thatyur area along the Aglar.

There was also a 'jumble sale' sponsored by all of the Christian churches of Mussoorie and held at St. Paul's Church in Landaur. There was quite a crowd there when I stopped by.
