To overcome the difficulties of Indians wanting to sending money across from India for flood relief in Pakistan, editor Kanak Dixit and colleagues at Himal Southasian, a monthly magazine in Nepal, set up the Indus Flood Relief fund collection drive in partnership with Standard Chartered Bank Nepal in Kathmandu.
“Please avail this facility to send money to the victims of flood along the Indus. No administrative charges will be applied; every paisa will be transferred to trusted organisations in Pakistan for the benefit of the flood victims,” writes Urooj Zia, a former News staffer now working at Himal.
