Early morning on Saturday, October 8th 2005, the lives of thousands of people in Jammu and Kashmir changed forever. A massive earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale destroyed homes, families, towns and villages. Uri and its surrounding areas and Tangdhar sector in Kupwara in Kashmir Division and Poonch in Jammu Division in the Indian-administered part of Jammu and Kashmir have been particularly affected. The
grave human tragedy calls for urgent help from all sections of the society. Especially now when winter is approaching and it is extremely difficult for people to bear the cold winter chill. In this hour of need,
Yakjah Reconciliation and Development Network (YRDN) In collaboration with Society for Consumer Protection and Environment (SCOPE) Has decided to extend all possible help and support by offering volunteering services for networking and long term intervention in the affected areas.
