Hi,
Here is your answer,
THANKS FOR ASKING THE QUESTION !!
No matter how much man may have progressed in Science and Technology, but time and again nature has shown its supremacy over him. It is this supremacy that reminds us of a supreme power, to whom we are subservient, God the almighty. It is also partly our own undoing, for the wanton destruction of forests, green cover of vegetation and pollution cause these calamities at regular intervals. These natural catastrophes across the world, are taking a heavy toll of life and property leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
I have just returned from Visahkhapatnam, after covering the devastating cyclone that had stuck it a couple of days ago. I has gone there to have a first hand account of the tragedy for ''THE DAILY'' as a freelance reporter. The extent of destruction and human suffering I saw was unimaginable and at times belied description. I had been witness to many a disaster, but what I saw there was far beyond imagination and enough to move any normal person to grief. My visit took me to Amalaguda village which was the worse affected. I set out for Amalaguda by car in the early morning from Bhubneshwar.
The road to the village was washed away, with electricity and telephone poles littered across the road. Massive tress had been uprooted and it was with great difficulty that I could reach the village by late afternoon. The place was enveloped in deadly silence, the like of children, huddled together in small groups besides a makeshift tent, which was their temporary shelter. Just beyond then I saw a complete village razed to the ground, with some lone survivors of families shifting the debris, a painful shriek or cry would rent the air, as they gave vent to their grief.
The relief operations were in full swing and I saw the Army and the paramilitary forces, along with the administrative officials of the bodies, which were at times highly decomposed. The paramedics along with doctors were providing medical aid to the injured and the ill, at temporary relief camps set up in tents. It was also good to see, various voluntary organisations offering food and comfort to their unfortunate brethren, in their hour of grief.
The relief measure adopted were still highly inadequate, taking into account the magnitude of the calamity, which has left more than ten thousands people dead and millions homeless. It is but a national calamity, for which besides the government and the voluntary agencies, each one of us should lend a helping hand. It is a Herculean task, to rehabilitate these people and help them to pick up their strands of life again. This can be done by collecting funds and items of daily use, which ca be sent to the relief commissioner for distribution among the hapless people. It is an occasion when we must forget our squabbles and unitedly set about building the shattered lives of out fortunate brethren of Visakhapatnam.
