Southall rallies for Pakistan flood fundraiser
Aug 12 2010 By James Gates
MORE than £40,000 has been raised as the community in Southall pulls together to help victims of the recent flooding in Pakistan.
Residents, businesses and faith groups have dug deep to help the millions of people whose lives were devastated by the deluge, which has so far killed at least 1,600 people.
And one of the main events was a fundraiser held last week at the TKC Restaurant in Southall Broadway, attended by cricket player Azhar Mahmood and other members of the Pakistani Cricket Team.
The fundraising efforts are being co-ordinated by restaurant manager Dalawar Chaudhry, who has strong links with Pakistan and is a regular visitor to the country.
