Ananda Marga help at Balasore

Kolkata: Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team ( AMURT), comprising monks, nuns and volunteers, has been rendering services to the victims of the train accident at Balasore for the last seven days. They set up a help desk in front of AIIMS mortuary to ensure the smooth handover of bodies. AMURT also counselled the bereaved family members of those who were killed in the accident. Extra volunteers were also deputed to load the dead bodies as there was a shortage of staff at the mortuary. The team served food to 200 people, mostly relatives of the 142 injured people who were admitted in Cuttack SCB Medical College and Hospital.
