Inept govt and powerless home minister
by Ranga on Jul 24, 2006 01:53 PM   Permalink

Ram madhav has hit the nail on the head by pointing out the facts.I agree with his observations.Every railway station is supposed to have a fire engine and decent Amubulance van to rush the deceased .

In Spain or LONDON this is not the way the serious injured were lifted.Iam suprised sites like Rediff do not want to focus on such vital issues pertaining to Emergency preparedness.Do you realise many of the injured who were taken in bedsheets and Rusty stretchers actually become infected.The local police station should be in control in such situation.

Iam reminded of the excellent job of Mr.Radhakrishnan the District collector in tsunami hit coastal Nagappatinm whose work on the immediate aftermath came for special praise.He gave leadership and focus to relief efforts on the fateful night and the following week.We need such role models .

Sites like Rediff seem to assume that they have the right to edit views .Barkha (NDTV) defintely did not behave this way.She was on the beaches of Nagapattinam with in 12 hours and pointed out many issues in Relief and Distribution which was very brave and positive/constructive.

Rediff missed a big opportunity last 10 days.
