00208---Finally It Came to an End

Finally-----It came to an End
It was at 5 p.m. on april, 26, 2015 ,that we received an order calling for an emergency meeting at collectorate ,Gorakhpur .This was called upon by the District Magistrate ,where the presence of all the officials at the district level was to be ensured. At that time ,People were shocked due to earthquake that brought havoc in Nepal, and also its adverse repercussions were deeply felt in this region, For the shaking experience was more than 6 times and time to time still it being felt, The people were so much scared that they passed their nights in the open . So,the general assumption was more or less related to this field .A very practical approach was adopted, when all the officials were given the task of help and support going to be given to the people adversely affected by the earthquake. It was An example of better ,effective and timely management in emergency and crisis and also a lively example of Crisis management by the District Administration, Gorakhpur. Within 1 hour, the entire scene was converted into reality with all the facilities required for the Relief Camp .A very active District Magistrate along with hisSSP, CDO, ADM(F)changed the field which gave a view as if it were a small town ready to serve the people with the top most medical facilities and a mini hospital, full- properly and guided security as seen controlling the people and guiding the vehicles in a very friendly and congenial way well suited due to their good conduct, Proper water and electric arrangements with bulbs shining and fans running and water tankers ready to serve and drinking water cans other than the packed bottles and the kitchen also ready to serve smartly to the people affected .The Department Of Secondary Education, Gorakhpur was entrusted upon the job of registration and announcements and Govt. Jubilee college,St.Andrews Inter College,TDMInter College,Janta Inter College Chargawan,Abhaya Nandan Inter college,Mahatma Ghandhi Inter College coming forward for these arrangements on behalf of the District Inspector of schools in Gorakhpur .What was very surprising to note was this that none seemed lacking in the energy ,but fully charged for the service to people in distress. The SBI too came forward with the ATM Facility machine and their staff members sitting with foreign currency Note exchange facility round the clock. The DIOS and BSA along with their staff members were actively involved for this great service .It will be a failure if we do not pay attention towards the work done by the Municipal Corporation, which brought toilets on wheels and bathing facilities, chairs, tables, sound box and audio-video aids .Another notable ,but striking point was about the NGOs and Civil Defense people who were there with entirely humanitarian approach .In a nutshell, it will not be out of order to comment that it was a smart town developed so suddenly. As expected the buses started plying to this town, the passengers coming down from the buses could be seen with their heads down and agony covering their faces , giving the impression that the terror of tremors of the earthquake were so heavily present.
The DM ,SSP,ADM(f), CMO ,DIOS , and their subordinates were there to ensure the proper use of the facilities. They interacted with the passengers and left no stone unturned in giving the best to the affected. Another interesting point was very much related to this aspect that only problem seen and found was this that no problem was lodged upon by any one. Whether day or night, the Roadways Buses and other vehicles were to carry the passengers to the destination as claimed. Thanks to the Bus drivers who never showed unwillingness at any point of time .The train facility in the co-ordination with the railways-officials,specially under direction by our Deptt. who also opened their counter to guide the people affected in the same spirit and manner, as if they were present on the railway station. It was seen that the timely serving the people with tea and biscuits& namkeen, lunch and dinner in co-ordination with the Civil Defence people was a live example of service to human beings. The Drs and teachers were very gently and friendly handle the delicate cases when it was seen that a mother who lost her children were senseless and a man whose entire family was buried in Kathmandu was taken care of.He was almost mad with no control on his tongue. Their crying and screaming were enough to break even the stone heart. The cases of Depression were normal, but very delicately handled. A few patients were admitted too due to their severe cuts and wounds. The cases of fever, rash, heart and BP cases, stomach problems were successfully controlled by the medical teams under the guidance and leadership of CMO .
Not only so, the foreigners were given the warm welcome and a live example of our culture to serve the foreigners to treat them with a pious spirit, Our friends from Nepal were unable to utter, but appreciated to the arrangement made. I had the opportunity to talk to a few and surprisingly, everybody appreciated the “Operation Maitri” in Nepal, which we are proud of our Armed Forces. And also the best arrangements made here in Gorakhpur(UP).
A programme meant for success came out with the flying colours was possible only due to active role by the Administrative officers who worked there, took food with them and passed their nights there. This stared from the 26th April continued till the last passenger was found on record and more than 12000people were served and the entire report collected in details lies with the computer staff for further reference. The success story takes us to acknowledge the great contribution through the leadership of DM,SSP ,CDOand ADM(F) ,who though at the time of great crisis gave a Home for stay away from their Home.
Before it is concluded ,Let us move to Indian Philosophy, which says,

I myself feel very happy that this was the first time I have worked for more than 16hours a day. The work is recognized by one and all ---It is pertinent to mention of the supervision by the Commissioner,and IG ,Gorakhpur mandal everyday and the presence of leadership boosted evrybody's morale.Even the Hon'ble Minister IC visited the camp.Whosoever like NGOs,Drs,Public of Gorakhpur deserve the credit of utmost support rarely seen and Hence,as general layman reporting it shall requet to Govt.to specially reward the DM of the District --JaiHind
