I had heard of floods in Assam, even in Odisha recently. But the floods in Kashmir seem to be a different thing altogether. While it is commendable that the Army and various other armed forces are working tirelessly to rescue people and provide relief to them, the sight of food packets being unceremoniously dumped on the ground from the choppers disturbed me. Such a method of distribution is partial to the able-bodied populace. Surely, the weak, the infirm, the ill and the old stand practically no chance of securing a share of such eatables for themselves. It might bring about a totally undesirable situation of stampede. And to throw food in such a way at anyone sounds demeaning - to people and food both.

The choppers could have sent 1-2 people down (while tethered to a rope) with a sack full of food packs. Those persons could have distributed the packs to people forming a queue to make sure that no one has to run or fight their way through to get food and that everyone gets enough to eat. :-(
