“Apada, apada (Disaster, disaster)!” children shout on the road to Kedar valley. Many private and government vehicles, laden with food, water and medicines, are heading for Guptkashi. They toss biscuits, bread and bottled water to the children. It seems relief material is reaching people. But enter the villages and the picture changes. Survivors have nothing: the bread-winners were doing good business during the peak tourist season, but all of it was washed away, often with those manning them. None of the villages has had visits from the administration, so there has been no assessment of the death and the damage, no compensation.
