150 km to Bhuj. 5.30 pm Arrived in Bhuj. Although there has been damage to buildings and the loss of a lot of lives, the picture of Bhuj that we observed is not of the same magnitude as reported by the media. The damage to the town is not on the scale of that of other towns and villages. Power and communications links are up and running.
People prefer to stay in tents for fear of further tremors.
7.00 pm Arrived in Anjar. People are in fear threat of further tremors and choosing to camp outside their homes. 8.30 pm Departed for Ahmedabad arriving at 2.15 am. The scene on the ground is that of confusion as should be expected. There appears to be little co-ordination and relief supplies of food appear to be in abundance in the urban areas.
