Relief work by JUSCO and Tata Relief Committee during this flood

Tata’s have always extended helping hand to those in need, whether it is earthquake, flood or draught. Jamshedpur, being the beloved township of Tata’s, has always got priority over others. The flood that hit people residing at the river bank, the most, has created havoc. Jamshedpur has never experienced such incessant rainfall and it has broken the past record of 75 years (278mm rainfall recorded in a day). But JUSCO quickly swung into action as soon as it got the indication that the situation might get out of control.

On 17 June, after sensing that the river level is rising steadily, JUSCO apprised Local Administration of the situation and the subsequent action that needs to be taken. Accordingly, actions were initiated from Local Administration and people were informed of the situation. But on 18 June the situation became out of control and almost all low lying areas near the river bank got flooded. JUSCO extended all necessary help that it could generate to provide relief to the affected ones.

Boats, tubes, etc were provided to Local Administration and Team JUSCO pressed into action. Apart from rescuing people from affected areas, food was distributed and floodlights were provided. Relief camp was opened up at Mango and Shastrinagar for affected people. At Adityapur, rice and tarpaulin were distributed to more than 200 affected people. Even in this crisis, when all forms of communication got affected, JUSCO power was glowing at Adityapur to bring in relief to people.
