It all started on June 14 and
with each passing hour the horror of flood shook the very corner of this
beautiful land.
Men, women, old ones, kids, soldiers you name it every one lost their life in an attempt to live or let live!
Had it not been for Indian Army, and Indian Air force heroic efforts the death toll could have increased by leaps and bounds.
Thousands were rescued; thousands were cremated while hundreds are still missing.
People from all round the
country visit the holy shrine of the twin cities of Uttarakhand, Badrinath
and Kedarnath to offer prayers but in return all they received were heartbreak,
tears, inconsolable soul, – for no fault of theirs they had to suffer.
Sometimes such natural calamities makes people think about the sequence of events especially if it’s in a pilgrimage spot.
On one hand the survivors who witnessed, the people who saw on TV sets the tragedy unfold may blame the eco system - Green Violation which led to massive destruction.
But the worst is for
those who lost their near – dear ones.
God forbid but with such a tragedy anyone who carries faith is bound to have a doubt of God’s existence.
The Government says Rescue will be over in couple of hours. Relief camps were set which helped thousands. Reconstruction will happen in years to come but what about Rehabilitation of those locals who have lost the very essence of life.
It will take months probably years to lead a normal life but it will certainly take enormous effort – to get a good night sleep!
May God – if he exists in Uttarakhand give strength; bring peace in the life of those who have suffered!
Amen!!
"A trek to hell" has just begun!
