I am all for Preventive Action , when catastrophy strikes and suddenly kills a few people
Eg:
> Uttarakhand Floods / Landslides
> Food-poisioning of kids in Chapara ( Bihar )
> Building Collapses in Mumbai
But many many more people get " killed " everyday all around us , through ;
> Malnutrition ( 4383 children every day ! )
> Breathing polluted gases emanating from Coal-fired Power plants ( 1 Lakh / Year )
> Car accidents due to bad roads ( 50 , 000 / year )
> Lack of Health care during pregnancy ( 30,000 / year )
> Farmer Suicide due lack of Rain water ( 20,000 / year )
> Run over by local trains in Mumbai ( 4,000 / year )
But there is hardly a murmur amongst people
Therefore , no preventive action amongst politicians / bureaucrats !
Shall we act only where there is high drama ?
