Uttarakhand
floods incidence has been a nightmare. The lucky few who were survived &
are alive have nowhere to go - few rescued and many are waiting for help. The
dead lie where they fell. The rescued survivors have horror stories with
them....its very painful and horrible...People narrate of incidences when they
saw their beloved ones dragged by the nature's fury in front of their
eyes....We cannot even imagine this instance... Way back at home, many are
desperately waiting to hear about the well being of their dear ones... The
death toll is definitely much higher and 17th being Monday, the number of
pilgrimage might have been the highest in the week..No food, no water, the pathetic
scene around can we just imagine how would have the survivors actually battled
all this after their survival from the flood in the devastated area...News of
dogs preying the dead bodies, water being sold @ 200/-, chopper @ 1000/-,
jewelry being given by people for food & water who do not have money, and
some such happenings coming forward which I cannot even write here
..Devastation is huge and the rescue team is scare...There may be many
survivors stranded there who might break by the time the rescue is available to
them... May God give them courage till rescue reaches them...Prayers for all
those affected... Army doing a great job....
But this has been Nature Vs Mankind...Let us learn from this
shocking incidence to take care of the environment now...Way back in schools we
have learnt that the trees prevent soil erosion and floods.. What are we doing
- cutting those trees to construct and fulfill our selfish needs....We need to
protect and plant trees and cut our carbon footprints..We need to save
ourselves from being the generation responsible for devastating the Mother
Earth ....This is a devastation in some part but this could be the future of
the whole earth if we do not take this as a very big alarm from the
environment... No individual can do anything alone but if each one of us
contribute our individual efforts we together can SAVE OUR PLANET...
