ââIt has been 35 hours after the quake but what we have received from the government is just well-meaning statements,ââ said Muhammad Sadiq, a resident of Uri town. ââBut for the help of the Army, we would have perished,ââ he said.

But the people wanted the Army, and not the administration to help them. ââSara aid Army ke havaley karo (Hand over the entire relief operations to the Army). Wahi hum ko aid denge (They will give us the aid),ââ shouted a villager among the crowd that had gathered to listen to the leaders. ââNobody in the (civil) administration should be given our money.ââ

In fact, the people were so unanimous in expressing gratitude to the Army that it became necessary even for the leaders to laud the troops.

#5 Hand over the entire relief operations to the Army

Some things are universal, it seems. I think the old fashioned Civil Defense organization that FEMA replaced would have done a better job.
