[Assam] [WaterWatch] Flood like situation in Guj, Army on alert

Mon Jul 2 14:28:49 PDT 2007

At the risk of being charged with insensitivity to the plight of 
these flood victims, one cannot help wondering, IF, there will now be 
a presidential plan/canal /aqueduct to take  flood waters out of
Gujarat to someplace where it might be more needed,like Tamilnadu ? 
Shall we say by 2020?
