I fully agree with the Ethiraj, not only because I suffered from the deluge myself and experienced things first hand but also hearing and seeing the situations to all those who suffered even worse than me.
If wishes were horses, then
1) The dug up roads were complete before monsoons 2) All manholes, buffalo holes, or even bigger would have been shut and sealed 3) All Drainage canals were clean so that they did not choke 4) Information was delivered across various media/police/posts 5) Rescue services deployed on full scale across the state 6) People who run the state/ city .. carry a bigger vision for the future and implement those visions in record time 7) All agencies work in co-ordinated fashion
A System in place can put a lot of things in the right perspective.
