SIR WHAT ABOUT OUR MULTIMILLION RS. WORTH SATELLITE, CAN'T WE TAKE ANY ADVANTAGE OF IT, SPECIALLY IN DETECTING DISASTAROUS SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

Put all the blame on the storm saying that it should have warned before coming. and the everyone lives happily ever after.

More than the Met. Dept. the fishermen are to blame for this tragedy. The fishermen aught to have known better than to go out to sea during Monsoon weather that could suddenly change for the worst for they'd been doing this for years and seen how the sea turns into a monster all of a sudden. Very sad though.

Another Commission? Why don't they take the milions they will spend on this Commission and upgrde the out dated Met Dept equipment and have proper systems in place to warn fisherfolk? we don't need more expensive Commissions..... we need SOLUTIONS. via DM Android App
