Bihar Floods
“Who listens to us? Nobody. Biharis keep dying due to floods, but nation doesn’t take notice of them. I know so many families in north Bihar who have lost their homes 14 times due to floods after Independence. Then, so what? Does anybody care for them? Do you know last year 960 people died due to floods in North Bihar? Nobody reads news from Bihar. That is Dinesh Kumar Mishra.
Environmentalist and engineer from IIT, 62-year-old Mishra adds poignantly, “Bihar is destined to die. Nobody counts us.”
Uma has provided links to this and other stories about the flooding in Bihar. Also links for providing relief.
Given the every kind of help and support that is pouring in Bihar, it would be wrong to say,“Bihar is destined to die. Nobody counts us.”
