Why Mumbai alone?
by Vinod Tuli on Aug 06, 2005 08:09 PM

Dear Editor
The space used by all TV channels, Portals and print media on Mumbai floods were keenly watched long series of "Mumbai & Mumbai all the way". How about rains elsewherein teh country flood havocs are an yearly ritual affecting several times the populace of India. It is taken as a God sent 'curse' on the majority. And media - all types just take it in the stride. In addition to Mumbai (rains only), why shouldn't the Union Government and all States for that matter take up the cause on a national level. NDA Government had initiated a project of linking all rivers of teh country - in continuation of a dream of teh great Scientist of India several decades back. Suresh Prabhu was given charge of teh project. But the dilemma with us is taht with the cahngeof Government all noble ideas, if I may call it so,are sent to dustbins.
