[Assam] FW: [WaterWatch] Over one million people affected in Bihar floods- Who reports how many in Assam

[mc mahant]

Had there been a  meaningful PRESS,a Working Delhi/Assam Govt. we would have got details on this most serious 
human/animal Tragedy -again in 2007. 
Last bad one in 2004. when MMS threatened to put a TASK FORCE on the job. 
Everybody was elated and full of high hopes:"This Time-our capable PMji+ScientistPrez are meaning Business".
Yours Truly also submitted a recommendation **( from one of the nameless Billion)to Task force .
But GOA's Expert Adviser/s did not include mine for FORWARDING  to PM'S office.
 Nothing again from PM's office.
Can somebody quantify/describe /Paint ,for RECORD the Devastation to the lives of these voiceless/helpless  millions.
