The powerful earthquake that jolted Ziarat district and Northern & Central parts of Balochistan on October 29, 2008, left thousands of people homeless, who were in dire need of food and protection against the chilling winter. The CSR Committee of Dawood Hercules Chemicals Limited decided to act swiftly and do its bit for bringing some relief in their lives. 

300 quilts and 150 cotton blankets were dispatched to Quetta on October 31, 2008. Keeping in with their tradition, a large number of The Dawood Group employees volunteered in packing and loading these relief goods to ensure timely dispatch.
