the Uttarakhand disaster is the worst of its kind disaster in recent years.
Whether its man made or government made...I think the latter is true.
Successive governments have ignored ecological concerns and the result is land slides and flooding in the Himalayan regions causing the worst catastrophe in recent years.
Even the Rescue personnel lost their lives in the brutal weather.
RIP my fellow country men. Pity ... Not much an average indian can do for you except pray.
