Its such a shame that something like rainfall( even heavy rainfall ) has lead to the death of almost a 1000 people. This was no Tsunami, or an Earthquake, or terrorsist bombs. This was caused by rainfall and has not been a sudden force of nature. Granted that the rains were the heaviest recorded, but still 1000 people dying and millions others affected is still not an acceptable figure.
The government has been seeing the situation going from bad to worse since days now, whereas in other countries, disaster management strategies start coming in to effect in hours, in India we are seeing people still dying due to the lack of intiative from the govt. Why was their a delay in bringing the army in ? Where are the disaster managemnt teams which should have learnt from the tsunami in some parts of the country, One figure I would like to know is - How many government offfcials dies in mumbai due to rains ? or How many officials from the dept. of weather forecast died ? Why the crores of rupees supposedly spent on weather forecasting did not give us a warning. SHAME! that The govt talks of installing tusnami warning system.when they have done nothing to cope with heavy rains.
