“The devastation is unbearable to watch“, said actor Amitabh Bachchan as he expressed his concern over the Nepal floods.
A sudden, massive flood swept down the Bhote Koshi in Rasuwa district bordering Tibet on Wednesday, killing hundreds of people and causing widespread damage to settlements, roads, bridges and hydropower infrastructure.
Bachchan shared a note on his blog on Saturday as he addressed the natural calamity. “On a more serious note the devastation of the floods in Nepal are unbearable to watch,” he wrote.
“The fury of nature can never be battled with .. its respect needs the presence of the divine .. we pray .. for that in itself is beyond all,” he added.
