ANNUAL FLOOD

FLOOD IN ORISSA (ODISHA)
Every year the same scene is enacted in Orissa, flood & drought, a very high infant mortality, illiteracy and poverty level completes the misery of the people. The ruling party to get some cheap popularity changed its name from Orissa to Odisha but that was not enough to change the fate of this cursed state. There a dozen of rivers flowing through this state but instead of benefit they cause havoc every year as result of which the state goes back to the same place from where it started. The center gives aid but it goes to the coffers of mafias. No constructive work to prevent the sufferings of the people. Few districts are benefited every year but they refuse to vacate those places .Some say people of these localities are very complex and are litigants for that reason God punishes them with tsunami and other natural calamities very frequently. Those are low lying areas hence heavy rain and excess water in the rivers cause problems which no Government can prevent.
Usually this occurs just before Dushara but the fire works, festive atmosphere, processions and celebrations are same as before, millions go down the drain, no consideration for the flood affected people. Ruling party is happy so also the people of those same areas who get money .There are no immediate solution to this “annual festival “called FLOOD & DROUGHT. I can suggest one thing which may not be liked by many—tell those people who are affected by flood to move to another place and there will be no aid for people of the same area every year. One thing is for sure those who live with snakes have to be prepared for the bite so also people near river banks runs the risk of natural disasters
