Water Logging of Patna: Who Cares?

The incessant rain had caused unprecedented water logging in Patna. Water was some times higher than a man and caused havoc and disruption. The schools had to be closed and people could not reach offices and workplaces. The outbreak of diseases is imminent now. But till then the mass destruction caused to the infrastructure is going to be a huge financial burden on the government and cause dislocations for the comman man. the urban infrastructure has exposed itself to m ismanagement and has led to this urban nightmare much like Mumbai.
It is the common man who has to bear and suffer. his car and house was soiled and he can not xpect the government to change them free of cost, much like it will be done for sarkari babus and ministers. his child missed the school. His area got filth which will perhaps never be cleared (they were never cleared ever in the first place, but now Patna Municiap Corporation will milk the money dry in doing relief work!). The roads that were damaged will eat the tyrs of cars and scooters and increase the fuel consumption. But then the contractor-babu-minister trio should be happy. They will get crores for reconstruction which will never take place other then on paper!
But the saddest part of the story is the general and criminal apathy towards this urban disaster in government and national press. perhaps this was not a kosher enough news for them. Such routine devcelopment do take place. And if the matter was ealted to Gujarat or Mumbai, the matter would become a national debate. similar urban fiasco in Patna does not make a good copy! No donations were collected and no PM or HM went for arial survey was undertaken. The national media both print and visual generally ignored the submerged Patna. Obviously so. Patna is not Delhi or Mumbai and the people have no voice at national prime time TV!
