more-in The State capital, which witnessed a massive relief material collection drive until a few days ago, has transitioned into a transit hub for goods that come from far-off places. The district administration has begun three storage centres to unpack loads of items, segregate, and repack them to be sent to relief camps across the State. Relief materials that reached the international terminal of the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport are being shifted to the Government College for Women. Those arrived at the domestic terminal were sent to All Saints College while relief goods coming by trains are being stacked at the Railway Kalyanamandapam in Thampanoor. The feasibility of stocking items on the premises of the St. Roch’s School in Valiyathope is being studied. With large quantities of relief items arriving by air and rail, the district administration is on the lookout for more temporary storage spaces such as auditoriums and godowns. The move comes in the wake of the government deciding to temporarily store the items and maintain an inventory. While the stocks in flood-affected districts were currently sufficient, supply from Thiruvananthapuram will be undertaken as and when needed, sources said. Volunteers required District Collector K. Vasuki has urged those willing to volunteer for segregating and indexing the relief commodities to get in touch with the district administration. The services of volunteers will be required for the next two days, she added. Attendance certificates Those interested have been advised to register by contacting 9633096769. Student volunteers will be provided attendance certificates for their services. She also expressed gratitude for the exemplary contributions that were being made by volunteers in the district.
