Yesterday night during a heavy rainfall of about 250 mm, a mountain top crashed and caused major landslide in a Village called Malin in Pune district. This village is situated in a very remote mountainous region and the incident came to light only when a State Transport bus driver discovered on his daily route at 6 am yesterday morning. On nearing the village to pick up regular passengers, he could not see the road nor could he see any houses in the village. That is when terror struck him and he realised what had happened. The village consists of about 800 residents about half of which are feared trapped.

I agree, Natural Disasters cannot be avoided. But the damage and death toll can be reduced. We talk of our proud achievements in technology. And we never apply them to the real conditions. And we never learn lessons from our mistakes. If disasters are taking place with unfailing regularity, did we grasp anything from them?

Government should take necessary steps in disaster management and reduce the death count in future. Even a single person death is also not bearable one. In reality we are still lacking on disaster management and everything is finished after that only the rescue team will come and do their duty.

Rescue operations are a part of Disaster management. Disaster management means, envisaging the worst and take the precautionary steps all along the year.
