I urge all to come forward and help,\u201d said \u2018Spiderman\u2019 Subrata Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the players are also set to travel to the Amphan-affected areas in order to reach out to and help the people in need, informed National Team midfielder Pronay Halder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have heard reports that people have lost their homes. Many have their farms ravaged, and their entire source for income for the year has gone to waste. Some of us will also go to the affected areas and try to help the people as much as we can,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is the first time that I\u2019ve seen such devastation inflicted by a storm. I would personally like to request everyone to stand together and help out the people who are most affected by this tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ex-national team star Mehtab Hossain said, \u201cAs footballers, we feel that we have got a lot of love from society. Hence, we had started Players for Humanity so that we could give something back. Bengal has faced one crisis after another in recent times, and if we can help people out in these circumstances, I consider that a blessing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlaces like the Sunderbans, Kakdeep, Midnapore have suffered a lot of damage, so we will try to help the people first. Priority is for those who have lost their homes. We want to give them the material with which they can rebuild their houses,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Former Blue Tigers captain Arnab Mondal gave a rallying cry to all from within and from outside West Bengal to join the fight against COVID-19 and Amphan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been fighting COVID-19 so far. Now Amphan Cyclone has also joint that fight against us. West Bengal is going through a difficult phase now,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel that we should all stand together and help those people affected by this. Whatever is within our capabilities, we are trying to help these people, and I would urge more people to come forward to help with this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-37806\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Amphan.jpg\" alt=\"Amphan\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" width=\"574\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Amphan.jpg 574w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Amphan-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Amphan-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/>AIFF Media Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>NEW DELHI:<\/strong> While the state of West Bengal attempts to recover from the devastation caused by the combination of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Amphan Cyclone, a consortium of 38 footballers have decided to pool in their resources to help the affected people.<\/p>\n<p>This consortium &#8212; named \u2018Players for Humanity,\u2019 include the likes of Subrata Paul, Mehtab Hossain, Arnab Mondal, Subhashish Roychowdhury, Sandip Nandy, Pronay Halder, Pritam Kotal, Shouvik Ghosh amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe love from the fans is what a footballer\u2019s life is all about.
