recall Mahanta, you are a self declared debating expert in assam-net; show us some good practical impacts of your expertise. we have less than two months to go for coming independence day, floods again too.
observe that you have recently demonstrated some of your skills bringing personal communiqu� to assam-net for your purpose, as opposed to your own trumpeted theorem what aught not to post in assam-net ...
what a tactful art! great!
do you also remember why you corrected typos for other(s) in assam-net? perhaps another quality of your debating skills right! -- scroll down read red-highlighted, feel your debating art.
look forward to seeing more practical impacts of your skills set!
kind regards,
rabin

Perhaps, Assam is the only state to have a full fledged ministry for flood control, ironically deemed to be a prize posting for any minister! Would it not be better to write to the concerned ministry first, to let us know what stands as the hindrance in solving this perennial problem?
*** I agree wholeheartedly Kamal. This idea about appealing to the center is a flawed proposition for the following reasons:
1: It assumes the Center has the ability to resolve Assam flood problems, by its demonstrated competence as evidenced by similar successful undertakings elsewhere in the country. A very naive assumption at best.
2: It also assumes that the funds the center had given to Assam in the past along with the technical assistance had comtributed SOMETHING measurable towards mitigating Assam's flood problems. Another deeply flawed assumption. Actually it is hardly an assumption. It seems more like a diguised attempt to get MORE unaccountable monies that could be misappropriated, like decades in the past.
*** The bottom line is that the approach to Assam's flood problem pursued foor decades, WITH Central govt. funds and FLAWED engineering, without transperency and without accountability, has ONLY worsened Assam's flooding problems.
It is TIME for Assam to take matters in its OWN hands, and get at mitigating its perennial problem, with SOUND technical approaches and modern engineering methods. And if Central policies get in the way, scream bloody murder or shove it aside.
