Sir,
Uttrakhand calamity has sent shock waves throughout the country. The natural calamity has exposed the eco-fragile regions of the country. There is urgent need to adopt short term and long term measures to protect the environment from the challenges of natural calamities in the future.
As a fact of the matter, people in India in general donate generously to help the needy people in case of natural calamities etc.
But it has been observed that on such unfortunate occasions some anti-social elements and cheaters try to mint money (easy money) illegally on the name of donations for the calamity victims.
The concerned administrations need to keep close watch on such suspected individuals, NGOs and educational institutions etc. while collecting donations for the calamity hit victims. People need to be careful and aware of such cheaters and verify properly before paying the much needed donations.
Yours etc…
