A BLACKBURN fundraising group set up to aid victims of the Indian earthquake is turning its sights on the victims of the recent troubles.

The India International Forum -- which has a branch in Blackburn -- set about fundraising for victims of the earthquake.

Now the group, which travelled to London recently to meet with the High Commissioner of India, has set a target of £25,000 for those affected by the troubles. Sayed Iqbal, chairman, said: "We have many calls from India asking for help."
