In a move to help the millions of people troubled by the natural calamity in the state Thyrocare Technologies Ltd have donated an amount of Rs 10 Lakhs to the state of Kerala.
The worst flood to hit Kerala in nearly a century bore testimony to how people rose above their indifferences and put their heart and soul into the rescue operations. The state witnessed exceptional rescue operations under the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Central Armed Police Forces, Kerala Police, Kerala Fire and Rescue services, and National Disaster Response force. The local fishermen of Kerala emerged as the new heroes during the rescue operations. Kerala floods also proved how social media handles can be effectively used, the officials as well as the common public used social media platforms to reach out to people, to spread awareness, and above all to curb the spreading of fake news.
