Its quite common to hear the pounding attacks from either side, First of all we never had any infrastructure so forget about loosing anything. What have been lost are all poor man's hopes.
Why blame any natural cause aftermath? We are the honest tax payers to the country, and we loose the most for mere reason: being honest. The only people to blame are our leaders whom we elect. Considerable chunk of innocent human & animal lives have been lost just because these govt orgz did not do their basic duty. Gosh! We pay these people for not doing their job.
If we go in the below order, then even if one department fails the other can cover up till the first one wakes up,
-MET dept. should have warn of heavy rains?
-Transport dept. should have warn for congestion?
Stop movement of private vehicles and allow govt vehicles to move freely for relief & rescue work.
-Evacuation of innocent lives?
-BMC dept then to act efficiently to clear the debris?
-Disaster Management (if we have any?)
Public warning systems not public panic systems, Shut off the media (who just wants to earn quick TRPs). Just put radio online. For heaven sake we dont want to see people dying on TV sets.
