Baroda, July 31.

The state authorities have start- ed 12 relief centres, in order to give relief to the distressed. A central organisation will co-ordinate the relief measures.

This may be gauged from the fact that at one place 12 persons were marooned on a housetop and had to remain there, exposed to the violence of the wind and torrential rain, for three days, in spite of the ceaseless efforts of the rescue party.
