07 3268 6188 BRISBANE, in a move of solidarity Queensland Indian Community came together for a candlelight Vigil in support of many lives lost and for thousands still suffering as a result of the deadly reemergence of covid 19 in India. Hospitals are full, beds are not available, oxygen is in short supply, and all these paints a grim but true picture. While the immediate supply of
oxygen and other medical equipment was the call of the day, coming together and standing together in prayers was equally important, that is exactly what this vigil was aimed at doing. For such a somber event to be successful it needs to be inclusive in nature, and this can be challenging especially when you have less then 72 hours to deliver the event
and you are dealing with multiple organizations. Umesh Chandra OAM was chosen to coordinate and facilitate the event, with GOPIO Queensland, GOPIO Gold Coast, FICQ, AIBC, Gandhi Salt March Limited, Meri Hindi, IMAQ and Brisbane City Council. Despite the short notice the turnout was encouraging, and the media coverage was CONTD. ON PG 18
