The article- “Volunteers wade into Kashmir floods to rescue
thousands” talks about one of the
most alarming situation in India recently. The news on floods in Kashmir is
very heartbreaking as number of homes and lives have just been wiped away during
the worst natural disaster that had hit Jammu and Kashmir in a century. According
to this article, we do not even know the exact number of deaths. The city had literally
turned into a “lake” during this natural disaster. Lots of volunteers were
ready to help these people by donating food like fresh vegetables, rice, floor,
water and basic essentials.
The volunteers were doing a great job and they were
ever ready to help in any possible way even though the ground was still covered
with water. Non-governmental organizations like the Zakat Foundation and the
National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) were doing a good job in rescuing
people. Also, various celebrities were also helping in raising funds for these
people and hence encouraging more people to donate. Camps are provided to the
homeless and doctors have come voluntarily. Many youth were also helping by acting as “voluntary
traffic regulators,” and I think it a good initiative as youngsters are
considered as the nations of tomorrow. These people are actually setting a
great example in the society and they are encouraging others also by their social
actions.
What is interesting about a nation is that whenever
a predicament arises, everyone does their best to help in one way or the other.
If a person cannot help financially, or provide goods to people, the most
effective way to help is simply to ‘pray’ because it is believed that there is
lots of power in faith. From this article- http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-29218301, we find how challenging this situation was in India and it is such a proud thing
that people have shown such great concern for others in this situation.
I
believe that if everyone cooperates and help each other in the most difficult
situation in life, this world would definitely feel like “heaven” to live in
and together we can all succeed in our endeavors.
Life is unpredictable as anything can happen anytime
and anywhere, so why not perform some good deeds as long as we live. One should
always believe in the fact that one person CAN make a difference!
Indeed a heart-breaking article but I somehow believe that at some point we cannot go against the law of nature. However, when a disaster happens we all work together to fix it and when we work together we work as one. Maybe natural disasters are an act of god trying to make us come together as one you never know…
