Heavy Rain and Life in Guwahati


As monsoon season arrives, rain creates lots of problem in Assam. In many places flood situation is very severe. Thanks to the weather God! This time Assam will get lots of water as usual. But the condition was not usual last year, when very little rain created lots of problem. So, what people will do? To love rain or not to love?

In Guwahati city, the municipality wakes up when the monsoon rain arrives! They starts to work on the drains and roads. Is it really appreciable? Today a heavy downpour for about 3 hours stopped the life of city. Water came down from the hills and flooded the city roads. The situation became worse in places where the works on drain construction was going on. (thanks to the intelligent decision of the municipality and GMDA!) Traffic stopped in many places and people started walking towards their home, in rain and flood water. Because they must reach their home after a long day work.

This observation is published here just to ask one question to the Government! Why they don't work on time to prevent such situations? Money is not a problem, we think. Because one can see how much money is being spent to build drains in these 2 weeks! No doubt! Guwahati is developing. Assam also. But is it a properly planned development process?
