Many a village has totally disappeared and the people are missing, the rescue crew is yet to reach some parts of the flooded Bangladesh. The agencies fear that the count of fatalities due to cyclone Sidr will in all probability go up. To say that the local administration was totally unprepared for Sidr would not be incorrect at all.
They should have done more and at the very least evacuated entire villages with a mandatory order. Bangladesh gets flooded even with a little rain but with Sidr, a strong cyclne, it is no wonder that some villages have gone totally missing. I earnestly hope that Bangladesh does not have to deal with another Sidr anytime soon!
