- Indian People's Tribunal
The
Indian People's Tribunal (IPT) visited Gujarat in August. IPT is an independent
forum of the retired judges of the High Courts and the Supreme Court. Specialists
working on critical disaster management issues were part of the panel. The
team listened to the survivors, government officials, media people, humanitarian
and development agencies and others through a series of public hearings.
Primary findings point out a system failure in responding to the survivors
needs, discrimination in relief distribution and lack of co-ordination.
IPT demands that urgent steps need to be taken to reduce people's sufferings.
