Patna: Bihar government's Information and Public Relations Department orgasnised a show of old Bollywood classics in various flood relief camps in order to provide solace and peace to the traumatised people of flood-ravaged areas of north Bihar.
Following the catastrophic floods in the Kosi River which devastated large areas of north Bihar, millions of people took shelter in various relief camps where they are being provided food, shelter, clothes, medicines and other essentials.
But though food and medicine could help the flood victims survive, it would not be enough to provide relief from the trauma suffered by millions, who lost all their belongings, and their near and dear, said a Public Relations Department official.
To provide relief from psychological trauma suffered by the survivors, the Information and Broadcasting Department decided to entertain the people with the old classic Hindi movies.
Officials organised shows of old Bollywood classics in various relief camps where all-time favourites like Mother India, Do Bigha Zamin and others had been shown to add a new vigour to the lives of millions of flood victims.
The films also helped the relief and rescue workers establish better ties with the flood victims, one of the officials of the Public Relations Department said.
