The Common Man’s Woes During Monsoons -by Smita

Monsoons play an important role in our lives and they play a very crucial role in the life of farmers. Without monsoons the crops will not get sufficient water and hence, the agricultural sector will be badly hit. But for the common man, monsoon can become a serious menace at times. Especially since the recent floods in many metropolitan cities have revealed the lack of effort on the part of the authorities to solve the problem. The drains overflowed and laid bare the claims of the civic societies about their preparedness. They claimed to have cleaned the drains way before the monsoons had hit but the truth is that they failed miserably. The poor and the common man have to face the consequences of their irresponsibility. At times, car's engine stops working due to flooding of water on the roads. The civic societies responsible for monsoon preparation should be held responsible and punished for not carrying out their duties. Also, the government should take an initiative to vigil these societies, so that from the next season onwards, the problems are resolved and the common man gets some relief.
