Sorry for the inconvenience.
$ cat PG_VERSION
7.0

It had been recovered. I did initdb and restored the backup i had. Is
there any other way to recover, in absence of backup? Please let us know.

For your reference, here is the log:

database system was interrupted being in recovery at 2002-10-28 16:34:50
IST
This propably means that some data blocks are corrupted
and you will have to use last backup for recovery.
