No warnings from "met" officials and we got high rainfall in the Himalayan state Jammu and Kashmir. So massive floods have dislocated the local people. Loss of lives, of property and crops have not been estimated as yet.National Disaster Response Force has been working hard and it could not help the people. So Army and Air-force has been deployed to rescue the suffering masses. Only 7 choppers were used while people stranded are in lakhs. The list of those rescued is only 47,000. We do not know about the rest of the stranded and dead persons. Army and Border Road engineers have opened the highway connecting Srinagar and Leh. Relief is much needed for areas like Poonch Doda, Kishtwar,Rajouri,Udampur,Anantnag,Pulwama,Kulgam and Budgam. Google is helping in rescue operations by Google Person Finder web application. Rescue missions give data which is uploaded. All distress calls are enumerated."Reported missing" list is made, so will "rescued" list and "found dead" list.Making lists is not enough,lists are for history Lists do not account for inefficiency on the part of the state.Even when all these people are suffering,political capital is being created. It is at these difficult times, we find that India can never be saved. Infrastructure to meet these situations is lacking. NDRF or NDMA have funds but do not know how to use them. Incapable men and indecisive bosses make up these organisations. Adhoc measures do not work out. People are at the mercy of Gods. When flood water enters homes and people and cattle are washed away,nobody is there to help. Boats are needed rafts are needed and a mere 7 choppers are not sufficient. When people suffer in an open manner, we regret being here. The state cannot protect its own people. We seek help of God. Oh God control these furious waters.....no help from men....
