Capuchin Friary under water in Sangli, Maharashtra

Maharashtra witness floods in some parts of the state and life was thrown out of gear…lives and live-stock was lost….many lost houses and crops…all their belongings were washed away….life was not normal and flood played havoc and ravaged everything…flood waters threw human Life on a slow track and normalcy was not seen at all. The army played a big lion’s role in helping and supporting people to accept the reality. Water was not receding for four days and then slowly began inching back to normalcy.

Since last 7 years we are working in Sangli district under the diocese of Pune....we have a farm house and Br. Dominic is in charge of the farm....the floods destroyed the standing crop of sugar cane and other vegetables....he lost all his personal and fraternity belongings ...washed away....we paid a visit to him....he was visibly disturbed and sad.....
