Some feel despondent more than the others. It depends on their mindset and in how much water they are.
They vent out their frustration and blame the whole world for the fury of rain and collapse of established order.
They think others do not feel for them perhaps.
As a responsible citizen, one is supposed to bring it to the light about the misrule, inaction, corruption, etc of the ruling party. .
I have been posting threads which speaks about the unpreparedness, inaction, etc of the ruling Government.
This act of mine may not be liked by blind followers who have developed more loyalty, obedience, etc with the party.
Such blind followers does not have any valid point to counter, but come here to pour their ஒப்பாரி .
.
Such empty minds instead of posting balanced critics and informed opinion on the topic , simply pour venom thus exhibiting their mentality.
In this connection I would like to share my posting on the other thread which holds good here too.
“To sustain democratic nature of the country, one should function as a ‘watchdog’ and raise voice whenever there is lapse noticed on the part of the ruling Government by the opposition especially against misrule, inaction, excesses, unlawful acts, etc. The opposition should hold the ruling Government responsible and accountable whenever there is lack of planning, execution, etc are noticed. One is supposed to raise his voice if any undemocratic acts take place and cannot remain as a silent spectator.”
As for self help, it is to be mentioned here that in most of the areas, the residents themselves unitedly managed to get rid of the problem without depending upon the Government agencies, more particularly the Chennai Corporation and to be more specific in a particular area, the residents themselves united pooled in money and spent nearly Rs.30,000 to bale out the stagnant water as the concerned Corporation Officials have failed to turn up to this area even after ten days.
It is reported in The Hindu that the residents are almost united in their belief that Chennai Corporation is largely to be blamed for this crises.
It is also stressed the need for a better network of manmade storm water drains and proper desilting to prevent recurrence of such problem in future.
While this being the fact, again some one from Delhi coming and preaching Chennaities to manage the crisis themselves without depending upon the Government agencies, self help concept, etc is highly ridiculous.
