How terrible! Was there no proper warning given to these poor people so that they could evacuate their animals in time? Or so some local government body could organise and assist them!

VP Wednesday, 02 February 2011 12:28 PM

Why the relevant officials couldn’t give proper warning and evacuation prior to opening spill gates.
