[Assam] BBC E-mail: Twenty-three dead in India floods

[uttam borthakur]

Dear Manoj
 
My compund has waist deep water. The water has seeped in  the ground floor. The only reason is  stagnation for shallow and inadequate drains. In this country of teeming millions, governement/ authorities could have simply and cheaply widened, deepened and cleaned the drains frequently to ensure free flow of water by labour intensive techniques and proper administration. It would have given bread and butter to many wage earners as well. Instead disasters, big or small, are boon to the elite as those are breeding grounds of corruption. Even on a global scale,disasters like wars are welcome to various  businesses whether during the war or during the reconstruction period. The variation is in respect to scale only.
