Floods
It seems another flood is at our doorstep as many places in Eastern India have already been flooded. It doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to predict that if Eastern India is hit by floods now, we are also going to be affected by it pretty soon.
But surprisingly enough there is no talk about this flood, neither from the government, nor the media.
Everybody seems to be too busy with this city corporation election. To my mind, taking precautionary measures for the floods is much more important than preparing for these elections.
We have seen election after election in the last 38 years. These haven't taken us anywhere. I would urge the media to draw the attention of the authorities “unconcerned” early enough so that we can remain prepared for the floods.
