Run, Survivor, Run: It�s not quake, it�s not wave, it�s the Home Ministry
On Black Sunday, they worked in splendid isolation. Today, a vague message from
an experimental US firm and some random Internet downloads made the Union Home
Ministry jerk its knee�and issue a tsunami alert at 10 am to all affected
states, even asking them to begin evacuation.

Tidal panic wave swept aside relief, left trauma debris
Haunted by the ghosts of Sunday, hardly had they begun to pick up the pieces of
their lives when another wave hit thousands of survivors along the coast in
Tamil Nadu and the Andaman and Nicobar islands�a wave of panic.

There was a crack response plan in place, on paper, for 7 months
Imagine that on December 26, in Chennai, there had been a 750-member
paramilitary emergency response team. Imagine they had fallback communication
systems, an online inventory of relief material, dedicated air-support.

>From the IAF station that vanished
As Air Chief Marshal S Krishnaswamy serves out the last couple of days of his
distinguished career, he must wish its final chapter had been less tragic. One
of his officers, Squadron Leader Celson Rodrigues from Pune, is now confirmed
dead while five other officers are feared to have perished when Sunday�s
tsunami overwhelmed Car Nicobar.
