Who is responsible for the floods in Guwahati?

Flood Alert! Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink! The famous places of Anil Nagar, Nabin Nagar and Zoo Road were in the news yet again, and for the same old reason. But this time, the floods had reached new heights.
It was reportedly the worst case of floods in the last 25 years. No wonder locals now term Anil Nagar as Anil Sagar! In some places, people had even fallen victim to landslides when a house tore down in the middle of the night. It is really saddening to see people suffer to these limits in our own city. I certainly have no clue up to what extent Guwahatians can bear the trouble of the floods, which has become a major danger in the lives of the people in the city.

OK! I surely don’t want to speak about these floods. But the real question is: Who is at fault? Should the blame be put on the ruling government in Assam which has been in power for the last 13 years and yet not found a solution to the problem? Or should it be put on some stupid youth political leaders who would rather change their profile pictures instead of working for the people? Or the people of the city for being careless and selfish? The real culprit is everybody. But just by blaming somebody, the problem cannot be solved. The real remedy is to eradicate this problem, which has been a major cause of concern for the citizens. I don’t get it as to why this problem is still a major setback in the city even after so many years. These floods are still making the lives of the people miserable. And thanks to these floods, people are now afraid of the occasional rainfall which is prevalent in the city. With many places of the city still suffering from the after-effects of the floods, it would be quite a task for the state government to make amends for the destruction caused.  There have been reports that crores of rupees are being spent for the development of the city but the reality is that the money has been selfishly consumed by these senseless ministers. After these unlucky 13 years, I seriously have lost hope about the city being developed by the state Government. I just hope that the sufferings of the people don’t increase but stopped, with the problem of floods being eradicated for good. With so many sad visuals being telecasted in the local news channels, I have come to the conclusion that these politicians do not have a heart and have put a blind eye to the sorrows of the citizens. Sadly, I also hope that one day the floods do not replace the one-horned rhino as the main tourist attraction in the state! Jai Aai Axom!
