Hi Varinder & Satinder,
Congrats on your new initiative -
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Wild_Flowers.
Since this initiative — Wiki Loves Wild Flowers — doesn't exist in a
compartment but in the Wikiverse, WikiProject India & WikiProject
Plants on en:WP, & all editors are your natural allies in this.
I suggest that the aims of how to do this should be clearly
enunciated. May I propose some for your consideration? :
* Create articles on [[Flora of Punjab]] both in En:WP & Pa:WP.
* Create list articles on [[Wild flowers of Punjab]] both in En:WP & Pa:WP.
* Check out Wikimedia Commons for all the photos of each species
already available. Like this - [[commons:Abutilon_indicum]]
* Select which images are needed & provide those (including close ups
of anatomical features, photos in ecosystem, etc)
* Ensure that articles are created for both en & pa:WPs in case they
don't have any.
Wishing you all the best. Let us know if you need help of any kind. ~~~~

We have discussed on our Whatsapp groups for uploading these images to Commons, but the city of Puri and Bhubaneswar are out of power and Internet connectivity from last 80 hours (and may continue further). So it will take some time for us to do that.

Dear friends,
There is dearth of information on cyclone shelter, cyclone
preparations and cyclone Fani images on Wikipedia/Commons. Please help
us get images for this to base our articles on.
Does anyone have an audio file of the warning used by Odisha Govt so
successfully to warn the people?
