Hello

Please convey our heartfelt condolenses to the bereaved families who lost their kith and kin during the recent earthquake. As citizens of India we also join the Prayers for the departed souls. With tearful eyes we wish to convey our feelings and sentiments to the President of Pakistan at this critical situation.

This is Dr. NK Shanmughem from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. We are the manufacturer of one of the renowned and most wanted product for earthquake and relief operations. This is a liquid and water based compound. The chemistry name of this product is PYROLIGNEOUS COMPOUND.

It is AN INSTANT ACTIVATOR FOR ELIMINATING BAD ODOUR THAT EMITS FROM THE DECAYING (DEAD) BODIES THAT ARE TRAPPED IN THE DEBRIS. THIS PRODUCT WILL ELIMINATE THE OBNOXIOUS ODUR AND THE PERSONS DEPOLYED FOR RELIEF OPERATIONS WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE FOR REMOVING THE DEAD BODIES AND INJURED PEOPLE WHO ARE TO BE RESCUED FROM THE DEBRIS.

When sprayed at adequate dilution, (1:3) any OBNOXIOUS ODUR WILL BE ELIMINATED WITHIN A FEW SECONDS.

Kindly consider giving us an opportuinity to forward the material for your use. Ofcourse, we can move the material at cost price WITHOUT ANY PROFIT. With 1 litre of our Product by adding 3 litres of water will cover 200 – 250 Square meter space. The diluted solution can be sprayed on blood stains, decaying bodies, dead animals thereby you can control the spread of any contagious diseases in the earth quake area. IT IS ANTI BACTERIAL ANTI FUNGAL AND COMPLETELY ECO FRIENDLY WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS.

Please let me have your immediate response for my furtherence.

Thanks.

Dr. NK SHANMUGHEM

BALAKOT

BALAKOT has been worst hit by the earthquake. Thousands have died and everyone is homeless. Below is a letter I received in email from Brig.(Retd) Abdus Salam Akhtar (Principal College of Digital Sciences (CDS) Khi/Rwp) explaining rehabilitation project of earthquake victims by Al-Khawarizmi Society and contribution details. Please HELP and CONTRIBUTE generously.

Al-Khawarizmi Society registered with Government of Punjab has initiated a program for the Permanent Rehabilitation of Earthquake Affectees especially in the worst affected areas in Balakot, Muzaffarabad etc.

The president of society Brig (Retd) Abdus Salam Akhtar himself is the resident of Balakot and would therefore be able to contribute in this permanent rehabilitation project very effectively.

The plans are being worked out and will be intimated to all the donatees. The advance information is being provided in order to indicate to the donors the necessity of neither permanent solution of the people who neither have homes nor any source of subsistence left. The present relief operation in the form of Tents, Clothing’s, and Food etc. are going to certainly help them but it is not a long-term solution.

In view to the above we appeal to all to contribute in this project. All donates will automatically become friends of the society and the major contributors will be requested to also be involved in the functioning and operation of the project.

The donation may be sent in the name of Al-Khawarizmi Society in cash or cheque in the
Account Number 20311-714 -107770,

Pakistan Earthquake 2005

They are sitting under the open sky. In some of the remote areas no one has reached yet, people need help urgently, still people are under the demolished buildings, houses. I personally appeal that the NGOs and other foreign agencies should reach at the areas of Muzaffarabad and Pakistan’s Kashmeer not at the main roads areas but the areas which are being ignored. The villages where no aid has been sent yet.

The weather conditions are very bad, There’s heavy rain, snow and it’s very cold, I appeal the news agencies, NGOs and other people at the remote village of Dhanni via helicopter.

those tent house manufacturers who are located near ISB or RWP with direct delivery system to the Pakistan Army, please contact us for order details by overseases pakistanis. we need committed supply plus sure delivery promise for the orders. email silyas01@hotmail.com

YOU ARE DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB FOR THE EFFECTED PERSONS,PLEAE EXPRESS MY CONDOLENCE FOR EFFECIED PERSONS,IAM READY TO HELP IN ANYWAY I CAN,I HAVE ALREADY MADE A SMALL DONATION IN President relief fund.

i live in dubai u.a.e. i want to make a donation for earthquake relief don’t kno how and where to make it
please assist me
thank-you

Assalam 0 Alaikum,
I would like to draw ur attention towards some places which are not under consideration (in regard of earthquake) since the 1st day i.e 8th october. The people of VADI E KUTTLA (related to neelam valley), or more exactly THE KOPRA GALI have not been receiving aid. No doubt, a big amount of money, tents, food n all other stuff has been collected for the victims of earth quake, but none of these things reached in KOPRA GALI, these poor people are suffering a lot, they r dying in cold , they r hungry n injured but no one knows anything about them. A few days ago a helicopter threw two bags, one of which was lost and the left only one bag could, obviously not fulfil the needs of thousands of people there. A person over there (vadi e kuttla or kopra gali) is giving us all the info from his cellphone, he told us that the only way to help the people there is by HELICOPTER, coz reaching there by road is almost impossible as all the ways are blocked.
I WOULD BE VERY THANKFUL TO U IF U KINDLY GIVE ATTENTION TO THESE PLACES, PLZ CONTACT:
ABDUR RASHEED, CELL# 0300-2447455 or
MIR SHABEER, CELL# 0321-5193450
Both of these guys are in the area of vadi e neelam right now and giving us info about the current situation.If u’ll contact them they’ll tell u more where to supply the aid.
THE DEAD BODIES ARE LYING WITHOUT KAFAN, THEY’VE NOTHING TO EAT, NO PLACE TO LEAVE, MOREOVER THERE IS EXTREME COLD THERE.
No doubt we’ve collected a lot of aid, but this aid isn’t reaching to the right place, plz supply it to the place where it is needed the most.
THANKING U IN ANTICIPATION

In the name of Allah the most beneficent, the most merciful.

Assalam-o-Alaikum!

Imam Ali (S.W.A) said:
“Be like such a strong nation that you must appear completely ready when called upon in a hard time.”

The tragedy which hit areas like Muzafarabad, Balakot, Bagh, Mansehra and the near outskirts in the form of earth quake has not only grieved every heart but has also brought tears in every eyes. In such a cruel time the relief fund and assistance by every person on a national scale is the evidence of pure fraternal feelings among the people.

Certain problems like lack of professional expertise and equipment, the problem of access to the joining areas, the gradual increase in chill, the robbery of aid convoys, the administrative and rehabilitation problem and the bursting of corporal bodies lying around are still a great challenge for all the organizations.

This report is made to provide our brothers, donors, and volunteers the comprehensive details of earthquake victims & the performance of Organization in this regard.
The report is comprises on the following:

1. SURVEY OF EARTHQUAKE VICTIM AREAS: (Highlighting the shia villages & localities)

3. COORDINATION WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
4. REFUGEE CAMP
5. CONCLUSION

SURVEY OF EARTHQUAKE VICTIM AREAS:

Can Warren Buffett, Bill Gates,and/or Donald Trump hire a 747 jet to be filled with warm clothing donations from collection centers across the U. S? Secondarily, can Federal Express, etc., fly boxed warm clothing(to be done locally) to the point of departure?

Living in Reno and visiting many thrift shops, the volume of donated warm clothing is great just here. I would be very happy to head a collections’ team in this area to collect and box donations. There is such an urgent need, and the timing is now.

Please see if together a few of us can get a ball rolling and save lives. This is a human-to-human effort.

This is an SOS MESSAGE

This for anybody devoting their efforts for the earthquake victims at Balakot (Allah apka hami vo madadgar ho, Ameen).

in earthquake and the whole family of Mr. & Mrs Haji Altaf Hussain & their seven (7) small children ages from two (2) to fourteen (14) years are in serious danger due to not getting any relief help so far.

I just tried donating on-line through the President’s Fund, and it seemed impossible. Also, I can’t contact anyone through the site directly, so hopefully a post here will help make a link available (or more obvious).

Besides that, I’m really impressed with the involvement I see here. I hope my donations to ADP’s RSD fund and HDF make a difference.
