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

[Alpana B. Sarangapani]

Hi C'da: And at the risk of being called 'one with a simplistic mind view', I would like to say, as long as that state can get rid of the excess water and not hit by the perennial flood problem, who cares who gets the extra water?
 
Or, is it like, 'nije-u nakhao oinoku nidiu' and thus have the 'dog in the manger' policy, though involuntarily?

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?
