Storm and Heavy Rain in Tankaria.
Heavy rain. Many trees and electric poles are down resulting in no electricity. This is the biggest storm to hit Western India since 1984. May Allah (SWT) make it easy. Ameen.

The Tankaria Welfare Society UK Gathering.
The first gathering of Tankarvis for the cause of the revival of the Tankaria Welfare Society UK was held successfully today at Dukry Hall in Leicester, UK. Many Tankarvis from all over the UK attended the programme and discussed plans and projects for our community and village.
Considering it was held at such short notice, the organisers were very glad and thankful to everyone who took their time and attended the programme and all those who were not able to due to prior commitments.
Please see the pictures from the gathering:

Read a few selected messages from Tankarvis in support of today’s programme.
Message from beloved and very respected and inspirational figure, Janaab Adam Saheb Lali:
Firstly my salaams to all Tankarvis present at this gathering to relaunch the Tankaria Welfare Society UK. I am pleased that you, amongst others, have taken the initiative to motivate this. My best wishes for the success of this meeting.
The fact that people from Tankaria are present is an indication that, no matter if they left the village and are living comfortably abroad, Tankarvis still care about their motherland and want to make a meaningful contribution by moral or financial support to the people of Tankaria.
From the time people from abroad took an interest in the welfare of Tankaria, I have personally noticed how the lives of people have improved in terms of eduction, medical, sport and the general standard of living.
May Allah reward those who have contributed to this change. The restarting of the Tankaria Welfare Society UK can only produce positive results. My best wishes for success. I feel proud that, unlike other villages, Tankarvis do care about their motherland. Keep up the good work.
I wish that I could be at this meeting, but my thoughts and duaas are with you.
Salaams.
Adam Lali.
