Maharashtra Floods: Complacent Govt Should've Called Army Earlier, Says Leader Of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar

The Devendra Fadnavis-led Maharashtra government should have handed over relief and rescue work relating to the flood affected people to the Indian Army as the National Disaster Response Force teams were inadequate in number considering the extent of flooding, said Leader of Opposition in the state assembly and Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar on Friday.
“It doesn’t look like the situation is in the administration’s control,” claimed Wadettiwar over the phone while speaking with HuffPost India.  “Teams of the National Disaster Response Force are working but seem inadequate. Given the wide extent of flooding, the Army should have been called in to lead the relief and rescue operations. This could have reduced damage.”
