Another setback
It seems that there is no respite for us, first the political turmoil, crime, corruption etc. Now we are besieged by calamities one after another. Unprecedented floods engulfed us twice, then the furious cyclone struck and left a trail of devastation, we are feeling very sad, our deepest sympathy for the affected people, may the Almighty Allah give them strength to bear the ordeal.
When the present caretaker government took charge, it had to tackle many problems, now this fury of nature is an added burden. Many countries have extended their helping hands, huge amount of aid is pouring in, we express our heartfelt thanks to them.
In this depressing situation, one thing is heartening, the relief will reach the needy, the cyclone affected people will get help promptly because the administration is in able hands, who will do their utmost to alleviate the sufferings of the helpless people.
We think a long-term plan should be taken, houses should be built in such a way that when cyclone strikes in the future, damage would be minimum. We hope the authorities concerned will seriously consider it.
