Japan continues its fight against natural calamity

After celebrating the arrival of New Year 2012, people around the world woke up on Sunday to the report of a forceful 6.8-magnitude earthquake rocking Japan with no casualty report. A few days ago residents in Tamil Nadu too were rattled by a powerful storm. Many people even lost their lives in Cuddalore by cyclone Thane. Despite the local authorities getting into action, after a day civilians continue to struggle to lay their hands on essential items like water and milk.

Report coming out from the cyclone-hit cities of Cuddalore, Kancheepuram and Theni tells a story of destruction. Puducherry too was rocked. The weather in far away states like Delhi too was hit by the cyclone.

2011 was not a good experience for Japan as on March 11 the country was devastated by the worst earthquake in which 20,000 people had perished and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was damaged.

Japan is still coming out of the tremor and many have described it as country’s worst phase after World War II when the Allied forces had dropped atom bomb on the country to stop its march ahead.

The economic slowdown and on and off earthquake have caused worry for the ruling party that is doing all it could to come out of the misery. Despite the country being hit by natural calamity it continues to be a huge economic power. Its people know how to survive such calamity and prosper.
