Failure to control the floods in last 72 years is shameful for the Government of all parties !

Administration’s planning washed away in the floods !

In the States of Assam and Bihar, lakhs of citizens suffer and many people die every year due to the floods. The administration has not been able to control the flood in all these years. Therefore, like every year, this year too the picture of administration’s planning has failed everywhere. Fury is being expressed by the flood victims on this insensitivity of the administration.
