This will be world famous joke if any blogger or writer write about disaster management in Pakistan. How could anyone think about the possibility of disaster related planning in Pakistan from Pakistani Government? It is absolutely rubbish! I am not in shocked with the control and handling of flood effected peoples in Pakistan, because I know the trend and culture of this nation my nation.

I will be shocked if same helpless peoples will give votes for same political party, which is currently playing politics instead to give relief to poor flood effected peoples. I will be shocked that same group of peoples will be elected as administrators of Pakistan in future. I will be shocked that we will never open our eyes. Anyways! I will be too
blocked like two TV channels If I dare to talk or speak against our great Government.

I am tired by watching the TV channels, that are showing the poor peoples and their comments for Government. Last time the when we got earthquake there were number of private organization who actually helped effected peoples. Now in flood case there are too many private organizations who actually knows how to help? how to execute the disaster planning? I am not ignoring the presence and hard work of peoples like ARMY and other officials of Pakistan and salute.

My only point is that why we do not have plan for these kind of disasters? Remember plan is always developed in advance not when disaster actually happens. We execute our advance plan at the time disaster, but it seems like that we plan and execute at same time. Try to understand the concepts! Do not become donkey behind the great nation.

I can only pray and ask to pray for flood effected peoples, however I am related to a EIDHI group for helping the disaster effected peoples and if you want to join the group then follow me on twitter and Linked In.

    With due apologize, I want to say that your blog is being read across the world and the point you are conveying is very much humiliating for us as a nation. It’s true that some politicians have used flood card and some landlords breeched the channels and saved their lands at the cost of hundreds of commons’ properties and lives. It may be true that we do not have an effective flood management at this time. But why are you so hopeless about the government and common people?
    My humble request to you is that please suggest some policy recommendations through your experience rather than spreading the shameful and bitter truths of our nation. Your critic may sound rhetoric but practically of no use. On the other hand, your recommendations will provide food for thought and therefore encourage some policy makers to act sincerely.
    Hope I have conveyed my point of view notwithstanding your point of view. Thanks sir

  2. Thank your for comments!
    I only speak (write) true without consideration of any nation, shame, and impacts.

    I respect your point of view regarding providing some management tips to policy makers instead to spread shameful but true information all over the world and for that I am always ready, even I provided some basic stuff in my same post such as

    Remember plan is always developed in advance not when disaster actually happens. We execute our advance plan at the time disaster, but it seems like that we plan and execute at same time. Try to understand the concepts!

    But truth is they (our politician) is not ready to learn something good or they have learned but not ready to implement this. May be my point is clear now! Thanks Once again!

    Cheers!
    A worst but true Pakistani!
