Some of us are vultures

It is really very shameful to pen that as and when there is any calamity then the unfortunate people suffer still the more because it has been found that some people instead of giving any help to those who suffered they loot whatever they get which is really very shocking and perhaps no human can do alike.

Just three days back Abbas Town, Karachi has been hit by very powerful bomb explosions and as a result 48 people have been killed while over 100 people were injured as well. House and shops caught fire and none knew how it happened and who could be behind it. People were caught unaware and there was hardly any police or medical staff to render any helping hand and therefore people at their own came forward extending help whatever needed. People were busy sending the injured to the hospitals while others were engaged in pulling out people from the debris and people worked with full zeal and zest to do whatever they could and such like efforts are to be most commended in any case.

Unfortunately I have myself heard on television channel that some women whose houses have been destroyed in Abbas Town, Karachi were too bitter to complain that some vagabonds came to the place and went off with laptop, electronics, gold and cash etc. This is not the first time to hear such like incidents rather it has been done so earlier also when there had been any train accident or heavy floods. To me all those who instead of extending any help went on looting have proved to be none but vulture or more correctly even below the level of vulture to be honest.
