Indian Prime Minister Atal Vajpayee said:
“There are two types of disaster, one is natural and the other man-made. We are equipped to face man-made disasters but sometimes it becomes difficult to deal with natural disasters. I sometimes feel that nature is throwing challenges on us to check our strength and dedication, but we will never lose heart. The problem is of an entire nation.”
