The Flood and its Devastation

Where the country's economy and integrity are at odds with other endangered issues, the annual floods are also wreaking havoc. Like previous years, this year's floods have brought a message of destruction to the country. The Meteorological Department and the National Disaster Cell sounded the trumpet of early warning in the affected districts. But the sad fact is that no effective strategy has yet been devised to prevent the catastrophic floods on an annual basis. Excess water from dams released into Pakistan's rivers under water war, which raises the water level in the rivers to dangerous levels, which leads to catastrophe - the number of dams in our country is very low due to excess water. It is not possible to stop the load.

The Kalabagh Dam project has not reached any conclusion yet - the project is stalled due to various political, linguistic, social and regional differences. India has made innumerable dams legal and illegal in order to rob us of our rights. The silence of OIC and international organizations is a silent message for Pakistan that it must use its resources to face this "water war". Whenever the monsoon rains come in Pakistan, India, as always, under its hypocritical hostile thinking, for example, "Knife in the armpit, Ram Ram in the mouth" is seen from above showing friendship and sympathy. The enemy, like the enemy, never misses an opportunity, and in this rainy season it releases excess water from its dams, which raises the water level in the rivers to dangerous levels, causing catastrophic floods. Urban and rural areas are affected because the headwaters of a river have a capacity of 4.5 million cusecs and if the water level reaches 9 million cusecs feet, then rivers in sparsely populated areas to protect this head and river. And cracks are made in the slaves to reduce the water leakage and the dangerous threshold. The water leaked from this crack and the affected areas, settlements and crops are severely damaged.

The ongoing terrorism in the country, the economic downturn and political heat, protests, rallies, load shedding, undue burden on the IMF at the behest of electricity tariffs, the realization of various taxes have already filled the lives of the people. In these circumstances, the coming of natural calamities is no less than the Hour of Judgment for the people. Disasters are of two kinds, one purely from God which can be prevented only by precautionary measures, the other type of natural disasters is related to our own negligence, stubborn insecurity plan to drain the water. Sewerage systems can be built, dams can be built and not built, that is, to face natural disasters under the pretext of killing me, such as the destruction of the current flood. This catastrophe might not have spread.

Floods hit the country every year, billions of rupees are spent on it and its losses are estimated at billions of dollars. It is possible to build a dam on a budget less than the cost of relief operations. When floods occur, relief work is carried out on an emergency basis and a possible flood prevention policy is formulated for the future. After a few days, we forget about the flood and its devastation as part of history. But remember that nations that run away from their history always face failure and disgrace, history erases them, forgets them, something like this happens to our country and people after floods come and go. While the government machinery seems to be in full swing in the relief operation for the flood victims, the welfare agencies, NGOs and others are also helping the flood victims in a spirit of empathy and goodwill. Apparently, self-help organizations, parties with unlimited resources carry out unlimited work with systematic planning and strategy.
