By KTM Metro Reporter
June 22, 2013: Nepalese big shots made a helicopter tour of the flood-affected areas in Nepal. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his boss Sonia Gandhi separately made aerial tours to the flood-hit areas in India.
India announced the relief fund of Indian currency 10 billions immediately after the floods but the relief work has been lackluster in India. Thousands of pilgrims have been left without contacts with their families and outside world except for the TV news reporters. India has deployed about 50 helicopters whereas the need for such helicopters has been hundreds to airlift the stranded pilgrims in Kedarnath and Haridware in India.
Indian pilgrims have complained that the government has not done enough for them to getting out of the areas where they have been trapped for last seven days. Why the government could not airlift them was amazing in view of the money so large enough to provide the victims of the floods with relief has been allocated. Prime Minister and his boss must have use some of the fund for flying over the flood affected areas and then come back to the cozy-Delhi ministerial office.
Nepalese state officials also made a helicopter tour of the flooded areas in Nepal. Nepalese victims also have the complaints about the government being less prompt to provide the victims of the floods with the relief forcing the victims to sleep under the parked buses in the extreme cases.
Nepal also announced the flood-relief fund of Rs 500 millions belatedly, and also declared the formulating a master plan on reconstruction of Darchula: the state administrative headquarters. The government has decided such a master plan when the need is for the immediate relief of the suffering victims of the flashfloods.
Local media have reported the opening of the Dhauliganga dam in the neighboring area in India has caused the flash floods in Nepal. In a statement released in Kathmandu yesterday, the Indian embassy has stated that nothing sorts of the local media reports has happened rather the flash floods have damaged the approach road to the hydroelectricity plant, and have accumulated sludge, according to the news in ‘gorkhapatra’ of today.
