Communication gap

It takes a tsunami to let the world know about the numerous good samaritans that it harbours. The aftermath of the tidal tragedy has left many dejected and directionless. But amidst this mayhem, is a group of people who have managed to recover themselves from the tragedy and extend a helping hand to the victims. Numerous voluntary and non-governmental organisations have sprung into action to provide succour to those bereft of the basic needs - food, clothes and shelter.
But a major problem that many of them seem to be facing is the lack of communication. Most of them are ready to help but do not know where to begin and how to go about it. The State Government, undoubtedly, is now burdened with a mammoth task of saving all these people and is quite busy with this task. But, surely it can provide some sort of guidance and information to all these voluntary groups who are share its burden. The lack of communication has left most of these groups in a soup and many are dejected with the government's callous attitude towards their ardent feelings.
There was an instance in Chennai when a group on its own had taken up the task of supplying food to all those fisherfolk who have been rendered homeless. But while they reached the spot with the supplies, they found that the people had just been fed by another such organisation. The victims in the Chennai city are by far better placed in terms of the number of people ready to help them immediately. Its only those who are in the interior region who are stuck in the stench of decaying bodies for want of food and water.
Will the State government machinery wake up to this gross contrast and provide direction to all these good samaritans?
The dead are already gone but let's atleast save those who are alive.
