Patnaik - CM. Odisha ( Learner )
In 1999 , a Super-Cyclone
killed 10,000 people in Odisha
Before Phailin Cyclone struck Gopalpur(Odisha)
two days back , Patnaik’s government had
managed to move 900,000 people into hundreds
of storm shelters which it had constructed
since 1999
Result ?
Only 23 deaths so far
Ø Shivraj Patil – CM , Madhya Pradesh ( Forgetful )
In 2006 , in a stampede at
a temple in Datiya district , 40 persons had died.
In a repeat of history ,
at the same temple , 109 persons died yesterday
, in an identical stampede !
Why ?
MP Government failed to ,
·
Construct separate / barricaded pathways (
even if temporary ) for coming and returning traffic of lakhs of devotees
·
Ensure single-person movement within these
pathways (ala Tirupati )
·
Depute just 500 policemen all along the path
to regulate the surge of the crowd
·
Provide CCTV-control booths at intervals of
500 meters each
·
Provide CCTV based “ Darshan “ of the deity
along the way ( ala Shirdi SaiBaba )
·
Continuously issue instructions over Public
Announcement System
·
Patrol the entire stretch with Police Vans
and Ambulances
·
Make provision for water along the way
·
Get NGOs to help regulate traffic by
providing volunteers
But of
course , as always expected after such – entirely avoidable tragedies ,
·
CM / PM /
UPA Chairperson and sundry other publicity-seeking politicians , expressed
their “ deep shock and anguish “
·
State Government promptly announced a Magisterial
Inquiry
·
CM announced payment of Rs 1.5 lakhs to
families of the victims ( Blood Money ? )
For politicians of India , life is not merely cheap , it
is worth “ Ridicule “ !
They don’t treat this as “ Murder “ ! May be waiting for the Supreme Court to say so !
So , why learn a lesson from the past ?
