Floods : everybody has failed the people

Everybody has failed the flood-affected people. The government has not been able to comprehend the severity of the situation. It has neither made any preparations nor mobilized resources to face the calamity.

The opposition, the nationalist parties and the civil society activists are nowhere to be seen. Another bigger failure are the NGOs. Everybody, including this scribe, other expatriates and their organizations have utterly failed the people. It is pathetic.

– UN says it is a bigger catastrophe than the tsunami. But why it has not started a campaign 1/10th as big for flood affected people in this case?
