In floods also propaganda conscious AIADMK has printed photo of their AMMA on each drinking water bottle distributed to the hapless flood victims of Chennai. This morning it was shown how Ministers and Officials addressed a press meeting and every one started with how AMMA controlled the situation. It seems in  Tami lNadu God failed and AMMA saved. Who is bothered if ponds have vanished and natural water ways are built upon. Gathering votes for Amma is the sole purpose of the officials and ministers even in times of calamities.

For politicians their vote is more important than any thing in the world. So they try to get benefit of any situation. 

Passing the Buck and mudslinging is natural in such conditions. But the truth is Corporation of Chennai failed to implement certain projects which facilitate River water flowing directly in to the sea. The Corporation authorities also failed to stop unauthorized occupations and encroachments.

The real problem begins now with all the people who have the power , making the most out of the situation ...I am sure some bureaucrats and politicians are going to get richer this year ! A calamity like this is a god send opportunity for them ..

Opportunists will be there everywhere waiting for an opportunity to make hay while the Sun shines. What better opportunity could be there than such a time of crisis like Chennai deluge ?

its a nature calamity which nobody knows what will happen and when. And its true that we never ever thought of like this which is going in tamil nadu it's really a heart shaken environment 

Natural calamities are unpredictable. But we can reduce the damage caused by the unpredictable Natural calamities by heeding the Weather reports and warnings. These are the minimum measures  the authorities can take.  People should cooperate with the Disaster Management groups in evacuating the flood prone and low lying regions.

Now the rains receded in Chennai. Normal conditions are back. People and Authorities should learn a lesson from this unprecedented deluge.

Thanks everyone, the thread is locked now.
