Floods in U.P & Bihar/ News channels sleeping/ Government has no answers/ Farmers waiting for timely rescue and compensation.html/22.08.2009
FLOODS IN BIHAR & U.P & NO SIGN OF NEWS ON TV
If agencies’ (PTI & ANI) reports are to be believed, several districts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are in grip of floods since the last two days… however, what is really surprising is that none of the news channels are showing or informing the plight of these two states… How active are the channels’ reach and head? But obvious, if news channels are already two days late in reporting the natural calamity, nation’s government will obviously sleep peacefully…

Ironies of some states that while drought has already gripped and made life miserable, the arrival of floods in several villages, including Ayodhya are facing flood situation. Needless to say, while the government is trying to portray that they are doing enough to tackle the situation of drought, one more blow is the flood… hundreds of villagers and farmers are suffering every single day because of natural calamities.
As late as 5.45 pm today, only DD news did inform about the flood situation in Bihar because Balan, Kosi, Mahananda and Bagmati rivers are flowing above danger level… more than a dozen people have lost lives and many are fleeing the affected areas… The State Water Resources Department officials had earlier claimed that all the embankments in the state are safe… while just the opposite has happened…
In Uttar Pradesh because of heavy monsoon, Ghagra and Saryu rivers are flowing above danger levels. As per the agencies report, there are no signs of any officials and rescue teams so far… The janambhomi of Lord Ram, Ayodhya is also affected including several other districts… Wonder, in this jet-age, news are travelling so slow with the private news channels, who only has breaking news of SRK detained in Newark airport, are sitting depending on some PR to inform them of such natural disasters…
How will the government act now, one will have to see Sharad Pawar, PM, Pranab Mukherjee and Chidambaram issuing only meaningless statements on television… the nation surely wants answer as to why the poor farmers are being slaughtered at the hands of government, drought and floods… ACT FAST, SHAKE UP YOUR CONSCIENCE & PLEASE WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
