Disaster tourism a note by Unnithan Road safety authority

What a very bad habit we are following. Disaster tourism?. When the whole state is in a fear of a natural disaster, people are enjoining with selfy at some of the dangerous spots. Heard people screaming with joy when the dam shutter was opened. It was opened in a situation where unexpected rain fall almost filled the dam. All efforts were made to avoid opening it considering flood, loss of money, and thousands of people who will be affected when such emergency situation arises. It is not a monkeys play to handle a alarming rise of water which was not at all foreseen because a sudden wave rise in Orissa seas was unpredicted. No human being can enjoy a disaster in such a barbaric way we kerala public behaved.

As said earlier all teams including central disaster management team were ready to tackle any emergency. Flood and calamities are not able to predict hundred percent.

When shutters were opened all areas where paddy fields and wet land were destroyed by us by building houses were the most affected. This is high time we think of protecting nature as its original state.

We are drawn back to Robert Malthus who has clearly predicted in his theory of population.

We are building more concrete houses as population is increasing alarmingly, where as land is not. Nature has to keep the equilibrium.

My concern is not this please do not celebrate a disaster. Please do not flutter the morale of experts who were restlessly working round the clock to protect lives.

Do not take a calamity as a tourism event.

Be a true citizen .Patriotic human beings enjoy a disaster and criticise the efforts.

Unnithan.
