    #KeralaFloods: When a mosque became relief camp for Hindu families
  • With a mosque opening its portals to distressed Hindus and Muslims cleaning temples, the murderous monsoon seems to have washed away the barriers of religious differences in the rain-ravaged Kerala.

    Amid the distress triggered by the floods, a mosque in northern Malappuram, one of the worst-hit districts, has offered shelter to 17 displaced Hindu families, including women, children, and the elderly.

    Here's more.

  • The Juma Masjid, located at Akampadam in Chaliyar village, has virtually turned a relief camp since the second spell of rains started to devastate the northern districts on August 8.

    Cutting across religion and caste, the displaced people were given space to sleep inside the mosque, provided food prepared at its canteen and given rice, pulses, and other essential materials when they returned home.

  • "There are 26 families who had sought refuge in the mosque. Though we opened the relief camp at the mosque on August 8, the activities started in full swing only after August 14, following a series of landslides that rocked the district," Chaliyar Village Panchayat Chief PT Usman said.

    Hindu families returned two days ago as water receded from their submerged homes, Usman said.
