Ka jingdon ki dkhot ha kine ki kynhun kan long katkum ka jingbunbriew bad jingdonkam jong ka shnong jongki. Shuh shuh la pynjari da ka Ain ryngkat bad ki kyndon bapher ba pher kumno ban pyntreikam ia ki lad jingiada lyngba ka Disaster Management Act 2005.
To ngin ia peit mynta don jingiadei aiu kane ka Plan bad kane ka jingsyier ba ngi ia kynduh mynta. Ngi la iohi ha kine ki sngi ba la dep ba ka don ka jingbym beit ha kiba bun ki liang :-
- La iohi ba ki paidbah ki khih kulmar jingmut (Panic) wat la ki bor synshar ki la bthah ba kim dei ban sheptieng ne ngeit ia ki khubor khlieng khubor tyngab kiba pyntieng pynsmiej bad ialam bakla ia ki paidbah. Nang kam sniew shuh shuh mynta ha ka pateng bynriew ba pyndonkam ia ka jingstad tekhnoloji lyngba ka internet! Hangne ngi iohi ba ka dei ka kamram jong ki Lad Pathai Khubor bad ki Bor Synshar, kum ki dkhot jong ka Kynhun Ai Jingmaham ban leh ia kaba donkam.
Don ki khep ha kaba ka rukom ai khubor kam da shai bha, namar la shem ba don ki jaka ha kaba la plie ia ki dukan ki iew ki hat khlem da bud ia ki jingbthah na ka Sorkar. Ka daw bah ka long ba ki briew ha kine ki jaka ki ong -“Kumno ha Shillong la plie ia ki iew ki hat katba hangi pat shah mana?”- La iohi ia ka jingialum briew lymbrum ha ki surok bad ki jaka ia thied ia pet khlem da bud ia kata ka jingpyniajngai iwei na iwei pat (social distancing). Ka jingia mih paidbah lajan man ki jaka ha ka por ba pyllait ia ka curfew ka la buh ia ki bor synshar ha ka jingeh. Dei hangne ba ka Kynhun Pahara jong kita ki shnong ka hap ban shim ia ka jingkitkhlieh ban iarap ia ki Bor Synshar.
Ym lah ban len ba kiba shah ktah eh (most vulnerable) ha kane ka khep kidei ki kup shiliang sem shiliang, ki nongbylla sngi, ki duk ki rangli bad kito ki bym lah ban kyrshan dalade ialade. Dei hangne ba ka Kynhun Pynioh jingiarap /Pyniaid bad sam ryntih ia ki jingiarap bad Ia trei ryngkat ha ka rukom ba ryntih (Relief, Resources Mobilisation and Co-ordination Team), ka hap ban shim ia ka jingkitkhlieh da kaba ia snohkti lang bad ki Bor Synshar.(Shnong bad Sorkar).
Kumba ka long mynta, U Kynrad Nongbuh Nongthaw u dang iada ia ka ri baieid jongngi, hynrei lada ngi leh bym suidniew bad khein sting ngim tip kaei ka ban jia. La iohsngew ba uta u khniang jingpang u pur sted katta katta bad ban pynsangeh ia u ka long da kaba ngi pyn iajngai iwei na iwei pat. Hynrei sngewsih ban iohi ba ngi dang sahdien ka bor pyrkhat bad hun beit ba ym pat jia kum kata ka jaid jingpang hangne ngim lei lei, “U Blei un iada hi iangi” kata ka dei ka kyntien ba baroh ki jubab. Tangba ngi dei ban kynmaw ia ki kyntien kiba ong – “U Blei u iarap ia kito kiba iarap ialade”.
Shuh shuh, ka jingpyllait tang khyndiat kynta bad tang katto katne tylli ki dukan ban plie ka dei na ka daw ba ki mar ba donkam kin ym lut shisien lut, hynrei ban ioh teh lakam ia ka jingiadie iathied khlem pud khnang ba baroh kin ia ioh lang. La sngewthuh ba yn shah ia baroh ki dukan ban plie ha la ki pali pali, ym dei ban ailad tang ia ki katto katne tylli. Phi lah hi ban mutdur aiu kan jia lada ka jingkhang shnong (lock down) kan neh slem, phi tharai yn nym lut ka bam ka dih baroh? Kane kadei kawei ka mat ba ki lad pathai khubor bad ki bor synshar shnong synshar thaw kin hap ban pynsngewthuh ia ki paidbah. - Ha kane ka saw ka sian mynta, ka Tnat ka Koit ka Khiah (Health Department) ka dei kaba hakhmat eh ban shim ia ka jingkitkhlieh, ia kaba la tip ha ka ktien nongwei kum ka Nodal Agency; kiwei kiwei pat ki tnat treikam sorkar ki dei ki nongiarap lem ban tynrong ia ka jingkit ba khia.
Hangne ngi iohi ba ka bor pyrkhat ki paidbah ka dang tlot haduh katta katta, khlem sngewlem shuh ia ki nongtrei ha ki tnat bapher bapher kum ki Doctor, ki Nurse, ki Pulit, ki Majistor, ki Nongsynshar Shnong bad baroh ki nongiarap ha ki kyrdan bapher bapher kiba trei baroh arphewsaw kynta khlem sangeh (24/7), naduh ba sdang kane ka jingsyier jongka khlam. Ym don ba pyrkhat ruh haduh katno ki duh thiah duh dem, ym biang shuh wat ka bam ka dih, don napdeng jongki kiba hap ieh ia la ki iing ki sem tang na ka bynta ban iada iangi ki paidbah! Bym pat ngat ha doh te biang beit kein?!
Dang bun ki nuksa ban ai, hynrei ieh tang kine shwa ia mynta. Wat la katta, ki don ki dak ki shin jong ka jingkyrmen ba lehse lada baroh kin bud nuksa ka jaidbynriew jongngi kan nang im. Kita ki nuksa babha ki long kum – ka jingmih shakhmat jong ki Seng Trei Mon Sngewbha ha ki katto katne ki shnong ban iarap ha ka jingpynieng lain ryntih ia ki nongthied nongpet; ka jingmangkyrpang jong ka Shnong Pyndengrei da ka iing sah shipor ia kito ki khun shnong kiba wan nabar jylla, ka jingleit shaw ia kito kiba sahkut shabar ka jylla, ka jingtyrwa jong ki Seng Trei Mon Sngewbha ban ia treilang bad ki Bor Synshar ha Ri Bhoi, ka jingsam jingbam ia ki ba duk bad kumta ter ter. Lada baroh ngin shim ia kine ki nuksa ba bha ngi dang don jingkyrmen.
Tang kawei ngin kynmaw ba kiei kiei ki jingjia ha ka jingim jongngi, la ki long ki ba sngewsih ne sngewkmen ki don la ki jinghikai ba ngi dei ban pdiang bad sngewthuh. Katkum ka jinghikai jong ka Disaster Mangement ka iathuh iangi shaphang ki lai tylli ki “L” ha ka ktien nongwei – “(We) 1. Live in a rapidly and constantly changing Present, 2. Learn from the past mistakes, 3. Look up for a better future” – Ngi im ha ka Mynta kaba kylla sted katta katta, Ngi ioh jinghikai na ki Jingbakla ba la dep leh ha ki por mynshwa, Ngi Ap dngong ia ka Lawei ba khambha”
Ieng joit kyndit noh mynta, ka por kam ap ia phi ia nga, Ieng joit kyrsiew ia baroh, Balei phin sah ha jinglyngngoh?!.
Khublei ia phi baroh bad ngin duwai ba U Trai Kynrad Nongbuh Nongthaw un klet noh ia ki lait ki let jongngi baroh bad un nangda nangker ia ka ri baieid jongngi.
