it takes an occurance of big man made disaster or natural calamity for the government and prople of out country to sit up and talk about it. Govt on their part set up commitees headed by retaired beaurocrats and be done with it. The general public on their part analyse and draw up conclusions as it suits them. These twisted measures do not help the situation at all. What is needed is a constand effort by the prople who goven and citizens gverned by those in power to work in tandem with each other and take concrete measures to ensure that we are well prepared to face such eventualities as and when they occur. It was appaling to see the torture meted out to a petty thief in bihar by the locals. Here the locals and the police worked in tandem to create maheym. Americans make up of only 2% of the world population. However the realisation of the fact that around 26% of the american people are vulnerable to terror attacks makes that country more prepared ( atleast much more prepared than India). The need of the hour is a strong resolve in the minds of beaurocrats, politicians and common public to getr the priorities of life. Human life in any country/state tops the priority. Atleast we should be in a position to protect this very basic requirement.
