CORONA VIRUS 2019 REMINDS ONE OF TSUNAMI DECEMBER 26 2004

Three weeks after the killer Tsunami waves hit several parts of India, I visited the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu which was hit the hardest by the Tsunami. More than 10 000 people were killed in the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and the Ka Nicobar and Andaman islands. Tens of thousands of others were left homeless and destitute. I visited a number of coastal areas from Chennai, the capital, to Nagapatnam in the deep south. Now that India and the world at large have been hit by another major disaster – Corona Virus (Covid 19) – I am publishing several of my radio documentaries about the Tsunami disaster in Tamil Nadu.
