Uttarakhand disasters affected tourism industry big time!!

This is understandable. That is why in my thread, I had stressed help to local more than to tourists who had everything intact in their home.

Yes it is natural. The place that takes life of thousand people including tourist. They are full of fear. They cannot have dare to meet with such disasters in future life. It take time to remove fear among people.

More than 75% hotels in Kullu and Manali are remaining unoccupied. In a season where these valleys are jam-packed with tourists, scare of floods is keeping tourists away now!

This will be for some time only, until everything revives back. The way people are coming forward to help is commendable... But the sad part is that it was local people there only who took advantage of situation and looted people at the time of disaster.... so people will loose interest like that also...

In fact I was reading that the rehabilitation process is not even being done since the weather is still bad and it has been raining continuously...

True... the weather is still hampering rehabilitation procedures in Uttarakhand. But although Kullu Manali is not threatened by such weather, people are still not willing to go there because of what happened in Uttarakhand before tragedy struck and all the lies that government tried to cover up, including the weather forecasts that were ignored. So no one wants to take a chance elsewhere!

yes local peoples needs more help. tourists have many another places to go.

That is not the case, they are collecting stuff and money but due to weather conditions, it is difficult to reach those people with all the help. Yet there are organizations who are carrying out relief work in spite of difficult weather!

Don't know Kalyani, but still it feels somewhere that people are not getting help on time. Weather may be a big hurdle but some do use it as a veil to hide their cheats...

I agree that in our country the presence of such cheats is quite high but then we must also not lose faith in the numerous NGOs who are genuinely working hard to offer help to the victims. A little more faith in them will only provide them with more energy to renew their efforts!

That is bound to be there, our politicians will never let go of a gloden opportunity like this - make hay when the sun shines or even when it rains ...I am sure that already a lot of the collected money has found its way into various swiss bank accounts held by almost all our netas ..

Politicians have already used this opportunity when media was focussing the Uttarkhand issue as the main news. Now Media is not focussing the issue, and politicians dont bother about it. Saw in the television , there was a fight between Chandrababu Naidu and Congress leaders on with whom should the Andhra people come back home from Uttarkhand.

More than that, I think it would be interesting to know whether the money that was announced by various state heads for Uttarakhand relief has really been released for that work!

That will always remain a question.. They just release the notice, not the exact money...
