This year's monsoon in India is unlike any we've seen in the past eight years. While many of us welcome the rainfall as a respite from the recent heatwave, it's crucial to understand the broader implications. For the first time in nearly a decade, the Indian Meteorological Department has predicted above-normal rains across the country.
The impact of this unusual weather is already evident. In Assam, 110 people have tragically lost their lives due to floods and rain-related incidents. Uttar Pradesh has also been severely affected, with nearly 1500 villages in 22 districts facing devastating floods. Despite years of complaints and demands for solutions, the same problems persist, leaving citizens to find new ways to voice their frustrations.
In Jharkhand, residents of Prachi's Ratu Road, led by Ram Chandra Singh, have taken to planting paddy as a symbolic protest against the inadequate response to flooding. Similarly, in Gujarat, people are planting the ruling party's flag in potholes, highlighting the government's accountability for these ongoing issues.
But the pressing question remains: Who is responsible for these persistent problems—the ruling party or the opposition? We encourage you to share your views in the comments.
