Special earthquake coverage
18/10/2005
THE Asian News is bringing you comprehensive coverage of the local response to the devastating earthquake in South Asia.
We're bringing together stories published by our sister newspapers across the Greater Manchester Weekly Newspapers group, which tell how the local Asian community has reacted to the events in their homelands.
There are also video reports from our colleagues at Channel M focusing on the local reaction.
And the Asian News's own Shelina Begum will be travelling to Kashmir to see the devastation for herself and report back on the relief effort and how the population there is coping with the disaster. You'll be able to read her reports here from next week.
