Dear Uttamda Floods bring very sad memories. Floods were regular features in our area (Bordoloni). In fact during our matric exam, the exam hall was under water upto ankle.
It pushes back development by many years. Think of the common people who has no dry cloth to wear and no food to eat. Govt. has to find lasting solutions for flood. It will require massive investment in channelizing our shallow rivers and drainage system. Our sympathies are with you all in this hour of discomfort and loss. May the waters recede fast and give you some dry space. Regards -manoj On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 11:25 AM, uttam borthakur < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Manoj > > My compund has waist deep water.
