paid the doctor attending to him.
The relief workers found a number of persons in the camps who do not wish to have money, clothes or cooked food but want to see and hear their nears and dears. They do not want to believe that the nature has denied their existence. So at this hour many a people mostly from Nicobars district who constitute the larger group of tribal following Christianity and some of them are Muslims too are not only being fed attended and cleaned by the Sangh Pariwar workers in different camps but also they are giving them
. and courage to get up and live again. Consoling these victims through psychological strength yoga, patriotic songs, and other exercises, the workers are helping them to regain their desire to live again treating each and every distressed as a human being with humane touch.
