Now to unite the people for the cyclone affected districts Silambarasan released a video  through his best friend Mahat Raghavendra’s twitter account. “Every one of us wish to donate for the Cyclone affected people and lot of us donating as well. But not every people could donate amount as they are not aware of how to donate. As we all use cell phones, to make the donating process transparent we could use the cell phone networks and ask them to show the detail of every donor and the amount he donated which will help us make sure that the money paid. And also Government should recognize this initiation and provide the donated money to the affected people authentically. If you think this idea will workout please trend this hashtag #UniteForDelta or #Uniteforhumanity”
