Chennai has been reeling under the after math of nature's fury and though the rains seem to have stopped, the devastation has scarred the lives of those who have survived to see this.Support and help has been pouring from all across the country and people from the film industry have also come forward to extend their support to the victims.

Actor Rana Daggubati who has witnessed the catastrophe tells us, “As the sky begins to turn cloudy, I can sense the fear in the voices of all the volunteers that I am in touch with. “It's very tough to get a visual understanding of what's actually happening in those areas. Just imagine water all over the place, broken sewage, contaminated water and dead animals. People have no choice but to move around in that. An epidemic can break out in such situations.“

The actor has been coordinating with several teams helping in the relief work and arranging for supplies. A visit to Ramanaidu Studios in the past week will see the actor along with his peers and volunteers working towards reaching supplies to the affected areas as soon as possible. He elaborates, “No power supply, scarcity of food, water and clothes has created chaos in those areas. Cooking stations have been set up at every possible place to provide food.“

Rana and team are coordinating with other relief teams from Chennai. Team Siddharth and RJ Balaji, Team Dhanush and Aishwaryaa, Team Vishal, Arya and Karthik and a Disaster Management Team are allocating all the funds based on requirements. “We have huge trucks with high loading capacity but the problem is that they cannot reach some areas and that is the reason we are sending trucks in different capacities depending on where we have to send it,“ shares the actor.

It might take hours to load each truck, but Rana tells us that the necessity is so high that distribution finishes in minutes. “Dhanush, who is helping out a team of nearly 1,200 doctors with supplies, tells me that a truck which took two hours to unload was used up in six minutes. I can't explain to you how desperate the situation is. Demand is higher than supply,“ says Rana.
