Guys -- This is a massive calamity that has no equal of in Kashmirs living memory. Heartening to see volunteers and members of civil society (with no training in disaster management) organizing themselves in the shortest possible notice, under extreme circumstances to evacuate stranded people. Ofcourse the armys role has been exemplary but lets face it -- Indian Army is a logistically superior institution and bound by the Fourth Geneva Convention to protect lives in a conflict zone. Embedded TV journos can help with a sharper focus on reporting other than their wah-wah army PTCs. Hats off to everyone involved in the rescue and evacuation of the people, trapped in this adversity.
