- Compensation

The compensation disbursement process was marked by protests from people who complained of getting too little money, ad-hoc fixing of compensation package and a general lack of understanding about the complex process. In several instances the money people received was not enough to build a proper shelter and ensure a basic standard of living. Media reported large level discrimination, often on sectarian grounds, in certain pockets. Disasters give an opportunity to rebuild the community based on equity. Development agencies remark that current policies will amplify inequalities.
