Sitting at home on computer, reading newspapers,
calling/listening phones and asking well being of the acquaintances, the
hovering clouds above is not giving a good feeling. Hope that the clouds that
are again spreading over for rain should not have come at this time. The
Meteorological forecast is predicting heavy rains again within 48 hours.
More helicopters are now seen over the skies.
Hope the brave Jawans and air force will save as many peoples as they
can before something untoward happen again. They are the only hope for the
hapless peoples at this time.
Though we cannot help those trapped peoples directly and
perhaps as of the most of peoples are not using internet, and the batteries of
mobile might have exhausted by now for some trapped and untraced ones, but even
than as most if the peoples affected with the disaster in Uttarakhand are
looking for their dear and near ones. So here is one initiative from Google
which we got from internet.
Google has started this service where you can type in the
name of missing person to find that person by name or you can tell about
someone you have or had seen during the disaster at Kedarnath temple or
anywhere else alive or dead.
Click here
to visit the Google People Finder lost in Uttarakhand flood and landslide.
There is also SMS service where you can type in “Search person-name.” For
example -search Mukesh. And then send to the number 9 77 33 00 000
Dead bodies are now coming through the water of Ganga River
Although you can use helpline numbers given in below link
for more help. Though they might be doing their best but even then they may not
be in position to tell the exact and required information.
Check the BSNL service to find peoples through locating
their mobile number of trapped persons at various places.
One advise to the peoples is that don’t try to visit those
places in hurry through land route (still broken at many places) for any reason
(even for searching you relatives) at this time as you may risk your own
life and also hamper the rescue operation.
I am still thinking in such situation how “Google Map”
and direction services can be helpful and for whom?
We will paste any such information if we could get.
