Our Partners in the endeavour SBMA, Uttarkashi and AT India, Guptkashi would be helping out with
the door step delivery to the families - an exercise expected to take 07-10 days, given the connectivity
and the challenge of reaching remote and inaccessible villages.
Many roads have been cut off or badly damaged. The volunteers have to trek in many areas or go on
mule back carrying the supplies.The aim is to go where relief has not penetrated till now.
