You are the District Collector of a flood-prone region. Due to unexpected heavy rains, floods have devastated villages, displacing thousands. The government has allocated limited relief resources, including food, medical aid and rescue boats. However, you are faced with several challenges:
a)
Resource Shortage: The relief
supplies are not enough to cover all affected areas equally.
b)
Political Pressure: Local
politicians are pressuring you to prioritise aid for their constituencies.
c)
Media Scrutiny: News agencies
are covering the relief efforts, questioning transparency in resource
distribution.
How will you allocate limited resources
fairly and efficiently? Will you yield to political pressure or ensure
equitable distribution of aid?
What steps will you take to maintain
transparency and public trust in relief operations?
