i hear people saying thank god it rained atleast we have water...well let me remind them that they did not use that flood water to drink, bath or clean their back sides...so whats all that thanks about...the flood water was just wasted! Ever heard of rain water harvesting... i guess not! Secondly it flooded because all mumbaikars know to do is crib and throw plastic out of any wnidow they see, be it train, merc or maruti 800. And like no magic that same plastic choked the drainage (what ever little was available) and made mumbai water tight... this time the water was in not out.
No wonder the trains stopped and people had to wade through chest deep water to reach places...if we dont improve this will happen year after year and more than once a season....so decide between improving your habits or facing this fluid every year from this year onwards.
In simple words- improve of drown yourself. keep the city clean or lose your children to diseases...next year your child might not be luck enough to reach hme safely in a follded city...think about it if you care..
Human death is painful but inevitable,why complain about few hundreds of lost lives,be happy that it rained and we finally have water,if you do not have water you complain....be grateful to nature that it has favoured you!!!
This incedince brings the fact to light that India has all the advanced technologies to our disposal, but we still do not have the vigilent approach to avoid such incidents !
Why can't we avert the damage ?
Would a warning from Meteorological department have helped ?
