How may VIPs will give up their protocol and escort 4x4s to be sent to affected areas to for rescue and maintenance (for electricity ) operations ? Nil i suppose. People need food, medicines, grocery etc.Like ones, someone said to me (you), where is a will there is the way !
You saw that Fire truck stranded in a street ?
Another requirement will be water suction pumps in high demand. Then life jackets and water proof clothing/boots. One would expect the Civil administration to have all this equipment in large numbers already (considering size of karachi city and sindh). Small sized Rubber Dinghy boats would have helped too.
Pakistan and the nation have focused excessively for anti-terror catastrophe that preparedness or anticipation of other natural disasters have taken a back seat. Most of this thread is about accusing previous/current Governments and PPP, whats done is done, people's lives are at stake and there are chances of more rain. Mud slinging can wait - rescue efforts cannot.
