Kindly tell me this sentence is correct or not????
If there had been an effective disaster management authority, the damages would have been far lessened.

If there had been an effective disaster management authority in place, the damage would have been far less. (You don't have to use the word "lessened" here at all). If you want to give the impression that the damage could have been a lot less in comparison, here is what I suggest you do: If there had been an effective disaster management authority in place, the damage could have been drastically reduced.

Brothers, I am not sure but I feel that here there is no need to use "if". Instead I would go for this sentence as:
Had there been an effective disaster management authority, the damages would have far been reduced/lessened. Seniors please comment.

I think conditional sentence either staring with had or if is correct.

However, when you use the "if/had there been" phrase in a sentence, you can't use "would have been reduced/lessened" because that would make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Reduced and lessened compared to what? So the correct way of saying that is by replacing "would" with "could" or by replacing "reduced/lessened" with "far less".
