I appreciate the measures they are taking & would humbly request the federal government to avoid making political statements & criticizing the efforts & measures they are taking! They are taking the best measures they can but we have to realize the fact that this is a natural disaster & would take some time. I’d also like to request the mature class of my country, like try to bring in the best practices, bring in the tidiness & starts this from your doorstep.
