Shahnoor Wahid's column


Read your Tuesday post headlined "Should we not stand beside the marooned people?". You have tried intermingling natural disaster with political debate. No doubt, a well planned strategy is mandatory in all spheres.

In a sense, flooding, river erosion, loss of public property etc are almost natural in most of the river-dense countries, even in the United States. I agree with your humanitarian view in the column. Not in the purely scientific sense, rather we as laypersons can observe some causes and effects of flood and erosion.

The problem here is that the politicians are not experts in technical matters.
