A mindless act exposed by the media


When the media was engaged in covering extensively about the impact of unprecedented rain in Tamil Nadu and its impact on different parts of the state ,particularly, in the Chennai city and was covering the extent of assistance from the central government through cash assistance and through sending the army, navy , inspection squads and the disaster management groups, the extraordinary assistance rendered by the NGOs and other social media groups, college students and other political parties and also the neighboring states and other states  and of the heart moving scenes on the human sufferings  one particular news coverage of an event  irritated the civil society. It is on the attempt by a group of people ( who are instructed to do so)to paste the Chief Minister’s pictures on the relief materials sent from different corners of the nation  , thereby exposing  their lack of   sensitivity even over human crisis. The flood in Chennai is a humbling experience to many sections of the population especially to  the well off sections that ,money will  not come to their rescue under all the circumstances. This natural calamity taught us a lesson i.e., when nature plays a major role humans  are powerless however  big they are politically, socially or financially. But the political class alone is not in the habit of   learning  any lesson  even during a worst crisis This point  is proved by the attempt to paste CMs picture in the middle of critical  operations related to  relief work . Whose brain has ordered them to be engaged in that work when we are facing manpower shortage for relief work and when every minute and energy of manpower is required for mitigating peoples sufferings?  Thank God the  CM has noticed that and has ordered the stoppage of  such mindless tasks. Otherwise this act would have continued and irritated every body and  spoiled the reputation of the ruling party
