Nepal, ....Nepal, ......Nepal !!

Nay Pal ! Nay.... Nay !!  This is not happening!
It is time for Disaster Management concept to be reviewed by India.
Post Disaster Management appears pink in all eyes. But all theory is there about Preventive approaches under the chapters of Disaster Management in India - preparedness, mitigation, etc., etc..
Nature is best understood if pre-planned and compatible ways of living with nature are instilled among people anywhere in the world.

It is unfortunate that the trained sleuths in Disaster Management have the instincts to take that extra bit of pleasure in dealing with post-disaster situations. The same skilled ones shall be further trained to look out for instilling among people, the mitigation and preparedness efforts - indeed a long term practice, but really paying in the end.

Relief, post-trauma care (thanks to NIMHANS, Bengaluru) and rehabilitation are OK. But nothing like mitigation measures and better preparedness. Thus the soaring figures in headlines of dailies at these times could be mitigated too!  If 'Make hay while the Sun shines' is an adage applicable during peace time, what about the pain time?!

I'm at least, Nay! atleast optimistic of Indian body of National Disaster Management groups will gear up much more in preventive mechanisms ..... :) Not of the earthquake, but of the life-losses.
