Can we help?

(added at 7.15pm IST) There are some useful helpline numbers here.

Leave a message if you're trying to get through to pals in the city.

Preferably leave a cellphone number for both yourself and your friends / family, and we'll try and SMS them.

Tip:

Suggest you avoid calling. Lines are bound to be screwed. SMS direct instead.

My number is +919820147433 if you need a message relayed.
