Transworld Group takes an initiative to ease water crisis and free water distribution in Chennai

CHENNAI, India - July 8, 2019 - PRLog -- The ongoing water crisis in Chennai has left people with access to very little to no water for consumption. The pressure on the city has increased, impacting residents, businesses, hospitals and schools. In this state of emergency, the Transworld Group has taken up the noble deed of contributing safe drinking water to tackle the crisis in Chennai by sending gallons of bottled water through its containers from Kandla to Chennai.

On June 27, 2019, 1,561 cans (each of 20 litres), i.e. 31,220 litres of drinking water, in two containers on the vessel SCI Chennai, sailed from Deendayal Port in the morning hours for the city.

The Transworld Group initiative kicked off with supply of water through tankers in the fishing communities of Nochikuppam and Dumilkuppam in Chennai in association with Indian Red Cross and Dubai Tamil Sangam and Dr Jayanthimala Suresh, businesswoman and a philanthropist.

As per a communique, there will be two containers every week taking water to Chennai through the coastal route on vessels, to be distributed to the most affected communities with the help of Indian Red Cross volunteers. The Group is also procuring water through private lorries locally, to be distributed to communities facing the maximum scarcity.

It is a call for action for businesses to join hands in this noble cause for humanity, the communiqué stressed. The Group has invited those interested to join it in this initiative in any way. More support will help serve larger number of people, it emphasises.
