Uttarakhand Floods-Relief fund links PG.1. HELP

Guys, I think you all are well aware of the floods that have devastated Uttarakhand . The flash floods have destroyed several properties, temples and have lead to the death of so many tourists and devotees, the death toll has risen to 550 which is expected to cross 1000, 10000 people are missing and still half of the people haven't been evacuated yet. There is NO FOOD, NO ELECTRICITY, NOTHING! People are stuck without food for 48 hours, the hotel owners have become inhuman and are charging Rs.500 for a bowl of rice and Rs.150 for a roti when everyone's dying out of hunger! Children are forced to have food from garbage bins due to the non availability of food and people may die due to this.

So please, its a request.. DONATE ! I am not too sure of all the relief funds set up for the Uttarakhand Flash floods but there's the Prime Minister's relief fund website which is not working for me, you can donate any amount of money in that particular website (please google and ensure its a trusted site)..but there is this one relief fund set up by the Indian Express Group which I think can be trusted. So please guys, any amount..whatever you can..please donate..its a terrible situation there in Uttarakhand right now..so any amount of contribution will make a difference..

I am from Uttarakhand, and feeling bad seeing the current Sight of Kedarnath! I wish all the pilgrims, who got stuck amidst hills, water etc, stay unscathed and get back to their respective homes with Safety sooner than soon! And the ones, who have kicked the bucket, rest in peace!
