Bihar Floods-3

People have forgotten floods. It was a matter of history. What small memories people have! many say this flood did nit kill as many or to say not many dead bodies were found, so what is world has declared it to be the worst flood in history! But that is history for the country. Bihar, unfortunately, has to fight this battle all alone. While it is doing that, but lot has to be done.
And it has taken toll on the over all development of the state. The most visible sign of administrative strain is visible when one gets off the train and sees the total collapse of municipal administration. One can find garbage all over. The only saving grace are the cattle who try to clear some debris on their own. Roads of Patna are in bad shape and so is the electricity supply. The general picture is that of despair and surrender. The Government has not been able to perform its duties towards common man because it is totally committed to fight the curse of unexpected floods. while it is good to fight natural calamity of this magnitude with all at disposal, regular administration can not be ignored or neglected. But this is being done in Bihar now. The babudom has failed to deliver and is hoodwinking the political top brass. They are now masters of their turf and wilfully defy the political masters. The result is out for all of us to see: the total failure of urban administration and collapse of administrative pyramid. And this despite the CM himself trying to pull the state through this worst tragedy. Full marks to him that this year not many people died due to dislocation and disease. The evacuation and rescue process have been huge success and the state came forward to help the people and mitigate their worries. It is due to his hard work that despite apathy of rest of India, Bihar has been able to pull through. But he must pull up officers and local administration.
