Nearly 7000 people were either dead or washed off in Tsunami on the East coast of India during the last week of 2004. Many children became orphans and took shelter under the patronage of NGOs and the Church. One is moved by the way they remember their kith and kin and observe silence or take part in procession arranged for the occasion by the well wishers and kind hearted souls in our midst in towns like Nagapattinam, Tuticorin, Nagarcoil in Tamil Nadu state.
The value and the pain of suffering is known only to those who really underwent such an experience in real life! We tend to question the wisdom and dispensation of Mother Nature in this regard.
As a former civil servant I hold my head in shame when I read the news as follows:
" Pattas for fisherfolk, permanent homes for the tsunami-affected, removal encroachment s in the coastal regulation zone and inclusion in the ST list are demands that fishermen have been asking for a long time".
- which individual or a leader/official is going to find a solution to this issue and how soon?
