Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), the Nepalese arm of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Tuesday, decided to send out relief and rescue parties comprising its activists in eight areas most affected by Saturday's earthquake.

Besides, the RSS has made provision for 10,000 tarpaulin sheets and same number of blankets to reach the victims in the next two days. The decision was taken at a marathon meeting chaired by RSS's joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale who has been camping in Kathmandu to coordinate Sangh's relief operations in Nepal.

The Sangh may also send in counsellors from among its volunteers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, but only after the relief and rescue operations are over. RSS said its welfare arms - Rashtriya Sewa Bharati and Sewa International - have already been pressed to marshal resources to be sent to Nepal. Fifty doctors from National Medicos Organisation (NMO), comprising medical practitioners sympathetic towards the RSS, would be pressed into relief works. Read more here.
