Indias priorities It may not have been foreseen the weather event that has caused havoc in many parts of India The unprecedented floods have destroyed standing crops ,human and animal life, trees have been uprooted causing death and devastation and houses have been damaged beyond repairs The economic loss and trauma will take years to recover and need allocations of massive resources The lack of management of dams, drainage system, building in economically fragile environment , excessive mining and quarrying, loss of forest cover, rivers dumped with mining rejects are some of the causes . The Gadgil report on western ghats is lying dormant. The politicians are busy exploiting natural resources for selfish ends The authorities are busy , concentrating in J&K , Ladak integration with India .That is the priority .The Central leadership is practically immune and insensitive to the plight of the people in flood ravaged areas .Precious little is done to solve their plight .The process of rehabilitation should have been on war footing . ThePM has spoken little on the issue. His man ki bath is devoted to J&K problem. The attention of the Nation is diverted to Northern India Few aerial sorties by finance Minister and Home minister in the states of interests are cosmetic in nature No assessment of damage and funds allotment on priority as yet It is the organisations , NGO and other foot soldiers providing the succour to the needy. The calamity funds need to be augumented on a regular basis and misuse and selective distribution be best avoided. The flood situation should be treated as worst National calamity of unprecedented magnitude Who is bothered about common people subjected to the vagaries of Nature The attention to this natural calamity is not proportional to the demand of aid and rehabilitation God save the country. J&K can as well wait a little longer Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
