Prof. Singh, Happy to know at least your family is traced and reaching to a safe place. Hope the other to members of our group and their families have also reached a safe place. For others whatever is possible is being done. Stone pelting trend won't help the people, it may delay the work and those who are doing it may also suffer. Promila
