as we know that flood is the natural disaster which can knock the door anytime and specially in the monsoon it goes gallant . it is well said that we can overcome over the fire but controlling the water is the biggest challenge . the lives after the flood gets completely changed i am not talking about te lavish buildings of the allied class i am just talking about the poor rural humans more focusing on the people of the bihar and the assam states the flood goes wilder in these areas . in the districts of bihar such as east and west chaparan nepal realeases the water resulting in sudden rise in the water level leaving no chance of preperation for the survival during the time . in the recent case in assam nearly 20 villages drained off by the water sudenly in the night and caused death of 22 people from the region . the grief and pain of those family can not be expressed in the words who lost ther near ones . the main assests of the rural people is the cattles wich includes cow ,ox, goat etc which was also blown by the water forces during the time . in the current scenario the govt has failed to look in to the matter leraning from the past records of floods . every year these things happens and there is no absolute measures which is initiated by the govermenet to eradicate the problems of the flood. during the pandemic time the world is most affected by the novel corona virus which has gained the attention of the whole world including india but let me tell truefacts that in floodhitareas lives are more affected than that of the covid 19 . if we talk of bihar there are 15 lakhs people who got affected and about 9.5 lakhs people were rescued by the national disater relief force frorm the down areasand had been shifted to upper areas .
ccording to the disaster management department’s daily flood bulletin, altogether 64 blocks have been affected by floods across 10 districts, including East Champaran, West Champaran, Gopalganj, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Supaul, Kishanganj, Darbhanga, and Khagaria. However, Thursday saw a reduction in the intensity of rainfall in the region as well as a falling trend in the water level.
The state government has initiated several steps for flood rescue and rehabilitation, including deployment of 13 NDRF teams and eight teams of eight State Disaster Response Force.
The Bagmati and Adhwara are flowing above the danger level at all 10 flood gauges in Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Muzafarpur and Samastipur districts. Kosi was also flowing above the danger level at four places in Supual, Khagaria, Bhagalpur and Saharsa districts on Thursday.
. here are the steps which needs to taken up:
introduce better flood warning system
increase spending on h flood defence
Protect wetlands and introduce plant trees strategically
tacle climate change efficently
restore rivers to thier natural courses
improve soil conditins which can hold water
construct water barriers efficiently like dams and barrage
if this measures could e taken then it could be surely be helpful in the matters which is curse on the life of the human beings and more on the helpless and needy people who gets affected most during the time of the flood emergency
