Dear Editor, I am an avid reader of the news on Rediff.com. Many parts of India are experiencing heavy rains and flooding. Bangalore is one of them. West Bengal is another one. You have coverage for Bangalore, but I don't see any coverage for West Bengal. Is it discrimination or is it that West Bengal has less importance than Bangalore has ? Being a Bengali, I am eager to know what's happening in my state. In spite of a huge loss and damage being done by the recent flooding in West Bengal, no mention of that was done on your web-site. It will be nice to see equal coverage for all of the states in India and not too much focus on Delhi , Mumbai and Bangalore. Thanks for your understanding.
The rain God invites us our municipal authorities to please take care of storm water drains otherwise we will flood all your communication skill and kill all your other tech infrastructure.Lets go to our basic and set them right. Nksagar
Rediff seems to be covering the havoc caused by rain in Bangalore pretty well. Reason : it's the Silicon Valley. Northern districts of Karnataka, which are backward and neglected were devastated in Jul/Aug , same time as Mumbai and almost as bad as Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra. The area was almost totally ignored by rediff. Is that fair and balanced coverage? You want another point of comparison between Mumbai and New Orleans? North Karnataka was as badly neglected by Karnataka govt as was New Orleans, unlike Mumbai. The difference was, even the national media of India had hardly any coverage of North Karnataka. I had to go to the local dailies' sites, Kannada ones specially, to get the news on the situation. But nothing can top what the C.M of Karnataka Mr. Dharam Singh did. Within 3 weeks of the floods, he celebrated his son's wedding in Gulbarga, right in the flood affected area, with 70,000 guests! Speak of bad taste.
