The roads are chockful of people, begging, howling and even cursing. With a handful of traffic policemen deployed for clearing the road, the search and rescue teams with their machinery can barely move. Those who are still breathing beneath tonnes of debris are losing their battle. Columns after columns of heavy engineering equipment are forced to wait on the highways to get into the city. Bhuj has become one big tamasha for curious people from all over the state who have come to see what an earthquake looks like.
Trucks carrying food, medicines, clothes compete with gigantic cranes, bulldozers.
And not finding any takers for the relief material, all this is being dumped on the roadside.
