If the citizens follow the rules of the land while constructing houses and all other types of structures and the municipal corporation enforces the rules strictly and if the politicians do not interfere for selfish reasons, this inundation would not have happened in the first place. And why 90% of the development should happen only in and around mega concrete jungles called metros? Why not more uniform development all over the country ? Institutionalised corruption and complete lack of accountability on the part of government bureaucracy are certainly some of the root causes for this deluge. Nature can not be blamed at all. It has every right to behave as it likes. We the humans, especially herein India, should wake up before nature decides to teach us much more painful lessons.
