With more than 170 people reportedly missing and as many as 10 dead bodies being recovered since yesterday morning, the tragedy is quickly gaining a lot of support and attention from the rest of the country.
The wicket-keeping batsman of the Indian cricket team, Rishabh Pant, who is currently in Chennai for the four match Test-series against the visiting England side also expressed his sorrow towards the incident and expressed his wish to contribute towards the cause.
Deeply pained by the loss of life in Uttarakhand. Would like to donate my match fee for the rescue efforts and would urge more people to help out.

“Deeply pained by the loss of life in Uttarakhand. Would like to donate my match fee for the rescue efforts and would urge more people to help out,” Pant tweeted on Sunday evening.
Giving up the entirety of his fees for playing the first Test against Joe Root’s men at the Chepauk Stadium, the 23-year old hitter has also urged others to step up and help the victims stand back on their feet once again.
Fans of the south-paw are thoroughly impressed by his contributions and reacted to his tweet wholeheartedly.
