Uttarakhand job could be better        Letter Published in The National ,Uae on 4July 13

I am responding to the news article Mass cremations held for 'Himalayan tsunami' victims (June 28).

Although thousands of people were saved in Uttarakhand by soldiers and personnel from India's National Disaster Management Authority, too many people perished in the natural disaster.

Unfortunately, the bodies had to be disposed of in the affected areas.

I am sure this scenario could have been averted to a large extent with better coordination and timely action by the government.
