AMPHAN

The year ‘2020’ seems to be remembered as long as civilization shall be there. The intense and fierce blow that we have been suffering this year shall not be forgotten soon. First, Covid-19, the pandemic made the entire world feel susceptible. The vicious impact of Corona Virus put humanity at great risk; thousands of people are dying every day all across the world helplessly. The fare of it somehow instilled in our mind so firmly that it might never go away. While, we all were struggling so much to cope with Covid-19 another natural calamities ‘Amphan’ (Cyclone) pushed us at the periphery of annihilation.    

The destruction of ‘Amphan’ left thousands of people shelter and food less for weeks. Many lost their homes, lands relatives in this cyclone that struck Kolkata alongside many other districts of West Bengal in India. The loose that people of rural areas suffered is immense, their lives are no way at ease. Aftermath, of the storm is more vulnerable, as most people be it in urban or rural areas lack the basic but utmost necessary amenities like water, electricity for several days.

The trouble seemed to have become double for us when ‘Amphan’ added in the list along with Covid-19. People feel vulnerable and can’t figure out how to encounter these two strong natural crises back to back, although, our government is trying its best to help people to overcome this hardship at the earliest but it would certainly need time. It is the high time for us to show our patience as we must not forget that Covid-19 is still there and it’s utterly necessary to follow all the steps to prevent the disease from further spreading.
