Arnab se pehle taiyari dikh rahi hai, ab 'zero casualty' ka vaada zameen par nibhana hoga

Cyclone Arnab Budhvaar subah Andhra Pradesh-Yanam coast se takraane wala hai, aur Mangalvaar ki tasveer ek tayyaar desh ki hai. AFP ke mutabik Andhra aur Odisha mein lagbhag 1 lakh logon ko ghar chhodne ko kaha gaya hai, Kakinada port par sabse ooncha 'Great Danger' signal 10 laga hai, aur Daily Pioneer ki live report ke mutabik Andhra ke 18 zilon mein 2.70 crore phones par alert bheje gaye hain. Cabinet Secretary ki adhyakshta mein National Crisis Management Committee ne agencies se 'zero loss of life' ka lakshya rakhne ko kaha hai.

Yeh taiyari sanyog nahi hai. 1999 ke Odisha super cyclone ke baad se India ne early warning, cyclone shelters aur samay par evacuation ka ek aisa model banaya hai jise duniya bhar mein saraha gaya hai. Garbhvati mahilaon ko pehle se aspataal pahunchana aur hazaron fishing boats ko kinare laana dikhata hai ki prashasan ab sirf hawa ki raftaar nahi, logon ki asurakshit sthiti ko bhi map kar raha hai.

Lekin hamari raay mein jaan bachaana pehla kadam hai, aakhri nahi. Landfall ke baad sabse bada nuksaan aksar bijli ke khambhon, peene ke paani, kachche gharon aur khet mein khadi fasal ka hota hai. IMD khud kachche gharon ke 'total destruction' aur fasalon ko vyapak nuksaan ki chetavani de chuka hai. Isliye restoration teams, bijli vibhag ke crew aur fasal-nuksaan ke survey ki taiyari bhi utni hi tez honi chahiye jitni evacuation ki.

Machhuaaron ko 30 October ki subah tak samundar mein na jaane ki salah hai — yaani kam se kam teen-chaar din ki kamaai band. Rajya sarkaron ko is dauraan unke liye turant raahat aur toofan ke baad nuksaan ka paardarshi muavza tay karna chahiye. Aur hum sab ke liye ek seedhi baat: sirf IMD aur sarkaari bulletins par bharosa karein, social media ki afwahon par nahi.
