SALUTES TO THE ARMED FORCES: They have evacuated more than 100,000 people from the hill state in one of the biggest operations since June 17. The Indian Air Force has airlifted over 18,000 people and dropped more than 3 lakh kg of relief material. 1335 villages are still cut-off and authorities are dropping rations there. They plan to distribute 1 month free ration for these villages. SHAME ON THE GOVT: Hundreds of truckloads of relief material is stranded near the borders, because the state machinery refuses to accept it. They say they will not be able to distribute it. The Uttarakhand government has said it did everything it could in its evacuation efforts after the weather department had issued a warning on heavy rains in the state. Really!!!!! Everything??? Chief Minister Bahuguna has admitted: "We will never know the exact number of those dead and the number of people who have been buried or washed away."
