Sikkim like all other States of India did not have a predesigned disaster response plan. The State had never before dealt with a disaster on this scale and failed to realise that corruption posed a real threat to aid effectiveness. The Government did not pay any attention to the suggestion of Peoples’ Forum on Earthquake (PFOE) for constituting an Advisory Committee for monitoring relief operations. The Government also failed to understand that the participatory decision making in the design of aid strategies is a key enhancing the transparency of relief and reconstruction efforts. The challenges before the Government now lie with having to balance the need to guarantee quick relief with the need for transparency. Hence this White Paper! What White Paper? That would be a bundle of BIG WHITE LIES!!!!____
Mr.Tenzin Cwang u r totally rit,its just bundle of BIG WHITE LIES!!!
well said tenzing…as long as this fool at the helm stays along with his underlings, all that will happen is that corruption will continue rampantly and natural disasters like this will give these people another oppurtunity to steal
