Tsunami victims remembered at worst hit Nagapattinam
Nagapattinam Tamil Nadu | December 26, 2006 8:40:42 PM IST
It has been two years since the killer wave struck the fishing hamlets here on this day claiming 6065 lives. To commemorate the people, who had lost their lives in the most tragic episode in the Indian history, a mass homage was held at the tsunami memorial park here today. Hundreds of people, including Nagapattinam District Collector Tenkasi S Jawahar, District officials and representatives from different NGOs, which had undertaken rehabilitation schemes, paid floral tributes at the memorial. Though the government and international funding agencies took different rehabilitaion measures, including construction of permanent houses for the victims, one can still find the sorrow, the 'Black Sunday' on 2004, had created in the faces of the survivors, who lost their dear ones.
