Ad hoc steps fail to contain city floods [1]

Though the State Government has announced as well as initiated a number of measures to remove the flash flood-related woes of the Guwahatians, scores of residents of this premier northeastern city are still aggrieved. To them, the Government has not done anything scientific to remove their woes permanently. Whatever the Government has done and announced are mere knee-jerk ad hoc measures. Even the scientific documents, like the master plan of the Bharalu river prepared by the Brahmaputra Board, have not been given a damn by the Government while addressing these problems, they allege.
